A repository containing install configrations for EPICS and areaDetector

Install Configurations

This repository contains install configurations for use with installSynApps, and Docker-Builder.

Included Configurations

• configureDeb7 - A standard areaDetector build configuration for Debian 7 systems
• configureDeb8 - A standard areaDetector build configuration for Debian 8 systems
• configureDeb9 - A standard areaDetectorbuild configuration for Debian 9 systems (also builds on CentOS7)
• configureDeb10 - A standard areaDetectorbuild configuration for Debian 10 systems
• configureCentOS8 - A standard areaDetectorbuild configuration for CentOS 8 systems
• configureWindows - A standard areaDetector build configuration for Windows systems
• minConfigureLinux - A minimum configuration for building ADSimDetector on Linux
• minConfigureWindows - A minimum configuration for building ADSimDetector on Windows
• visionPluginConfig - A linux configuration that adds several additional computer vision plugins to areaDetector build.

Using Custom Configurations

If you would like to use custom Install-Configurations, the recommended way to do this is to do the following:

• First, fork this repository, using the fork button above.
• Clone your fork of Install-Configurations, and make edits or add configurations to the local clone.
• Push the changes you made locally to your fork on github.
• Clone Docker-Builder with:

git clone https://github.com/epicsNSLS2-deploy/Docker-Builder

• For the distribution you wish to build, edit the DISTRIBUTION/run_build.sh file, and change the url for Install-Configurations to that of your fork, and edit the path to the configuration (-c flag for installCLI.py)
• You can now run Docker-Builder using your custom configuraion.

./build_image.sh DISTRIBUTION
./run_container.sh DISTRIBUTION

Using Legacy Configurations.

If you don't wish to use the most recent set of configurations offered by Install-Configurations, you may use the tagged versions. These are based on the ADCore release versions, meaning that (for example) a tagged version of R3-8 would result in a build of EPICS, synApps, and areaDetector using the most recent versions when ADCore R3-8 was released.

Included Helper Scripts

• check_module_deps.py - script that helps identify which EPICS modules are dependancies for a particular module
• update_and_tag.sh - script that uses installSynApps to auto-update the configuration version numbers, and creates a tag.
