Binary pacakges

Packages bundled with Qt Creator

To facilitate the usage, packages bundled with Qt Creator are available at http://epics.web.psi.ch/software/CSDataQuick/downloads. The packages are self-contained, including Qt libraries, EPICS base libraries, and a stripped down version of Qt Creator.

Anaconda Packages

Anaconda is a Python distribution. It provides a reproducible way to deploy binary packages, not limited to Python. This module provides packages for linux-64, win-64 and osx-64 platform.

$ conda install -c paulscherrerinstitute csdataquick

On Windows, if the module is not to be used by Python applications, the EPICS dll libraries have to be in path

> set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Miniconda3\epics\windows-x64

Dependencies

• Qt 5.6 or higher
• EPICS base 3.14.12 or higher
• Git
• cmake 2.8.10 or higher

On RHEL/Centos/SL 6.x, install qt5 from EPEL repository,

# yum install yum-conf-epel
# yum --enablerepo=epel install qt5-qtdeclarative-devel
# yum --enablerepo=epel install qt5-qtquickcontrols

In the following instructions, EPICS base is assumed to be in C:\epics\base-3.14.12 on Windows and /usr/local/epics/base on macOS or Linux. And the EPICS_BASE environment variable is pointing to it. The EPICS_HOST_ARCH environment variable is assumed to be

Note: If it is going to be used in Qt Quick Designer, different setup might be required on Windows.
