Read the docs !

Requirements

Python>=3.6 .
PyDM==1.10.1
CONS commons module.
Other dependencies are listed at requirements.txt.

Install

This repository depends on PyDM, PyEPICS, CONS Common and Python>=3.6 .

Clone from master or download the latest release.
Optionally the user may clone recursive in order to pull the module conscommon. If so, install the submodule using cd cons-common && pip install ..

EPICS Base

Install EPICS and add it to PATH(Windows only)

https://epics.anl.gov/download/distributions/EPICSWindowsTools1.44-x64.msi

For linux users the recommended way is to compile the latest LTS release of the EPICS Base (R3.15.8). After the compilation is completed, the bin folder must be added to the environment PATH and the lib folder to LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

Sirius Environment

To install in a machine managed by lnls-sirius/lnls-ansible clone the repo recursively and make install as sudo.

cd ~/ && git clone --recursive https://github.com/lnls-sirius/pydm-opi && cd pydm-opi && sudo make install

Using Conda

This is the recommended way to install ! If you're a Windows user, using git bash may simplify the steps as the syntax will be similar.

Create and activate the conda environment:

conda init <shell name> # Restart shell after ... (bash, powershell, etc...)
conda create --name pydm python=3.7 # pyqtgraph==0.1.0 does not work with python 3.8
conda activate pydm

Install dependencies and OPIs (Will use ~/ as the default path but feel free to change):

# Install PyDM (If on Windows `wget` and `tar` may not be available, just download the file using a browser and extract it)
wget https://github.com/slaclab/pydm/archive/v1.10.1.tar.gz
tar -zxvf v1.10.1.tar.gz && rm -f v1.10.1.tar.gz && cd pydm-1.10.1 && pip install . && cd ..

# Install pydm-opi and cons-common
cd ~/ && git clone --recursive https://github.com/lnls-sirius/pydm-opi && cd pydm-opi
cd ~/pydm-opi/cons-common && pip install . && cd ../ && pip install . -r requirements.txt

Desktop

In order to install the .desktop launcher:

make install-files

If using conda, remember to fix the Exec entry at the `.desktop' file accordingly:

/bin/bash -c 'source ~/miniconda3/etc/profile.d/conda.sh && conda activate pydm && sirius-hla-as-ap-conlauncher.py'

Run

All scripts used to start the applications should be at the bin folder relative to the python installation environment, for example:

~/.local/bin
/usr/local/bin
...

To launch the main window use the script: sirius-hla-as-ap-conlauncher.py

Windows

There should be no problems running on windows.
