LCLS EPICS Development Environment Setup on Linux
Login to lcls-dev2 with
$ ssh -X -Y username@lcls-dev2.slac.stanford.edu
Find out what shell you are running by typing echo $SHELL
. Your shell will be either tcsh
or bash
.
ex:
I am running bash
.
If you are using tcsh
, type this command to enter the bash shell before proceeding:
If you are using bash
, type this command:
$ source /afs/slac/g/lcls/tools/script/ENVS.bash
As an alternative you can skip the above step and instead copy the following file to your home directory. This file includes the command to source the setup script listed in the above. The advantage is that this script is executed automatically when you type bash.
$ cp /afs/slac/g/lcls/tools/script/.bashrc .
For questions, please contact Jingchen Zhou or Ken Brobeck of the AE Controls Software Engineering Department.
