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 EPICS Base (R3.15.8). The <EPICS_BASE>/bin folder must be added to the environment variable PATH and <EPICS_BASE>/lib folder to LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

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 /opt/conda/etc/profile.d/conda.sh && conda activate cons && sirius-hla-as-ap-conlauncher.py'

Run

To launch the main window use the script: sirius-hla-as-ap-conlauncher.py. On Windows make sure that the correct python.exe is the default program for *.py files.
