Install synAppsGIT on linux

To install synApps by git clone from GitHub, use the custom installation script:

cd /usr/local/epics
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EPICS-synApps/support/master/clone.csh
tcsh ./clone.csh

(A Windows batch file is provided to do the same thing from the windows command.exe shell.)

This will create a directory structure ./synAppsGIT/support with clones of the synApps modules. Each module can be updated from its GitHub repository by commands such as these:

cd ./synAppsGIT/support/MODULE
git pull

(substituting the correct module name).

Install synAppsSVN on linux

To install synApps by svn checkout from GitHub, use the custom installation script:

cd /usr/local/epics
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EPICS-synApps/support/master/checkout.csh
tcsh ./checkout.csh

(A Windows batch file is provided to do the same thing from the windows command.exe shell.)

This will create a directory structure ./synAppsSVN/support with subversion checkouts of the synApps modules. There is a script, ./synAppsSVN/support/update.csh, to use when it is desired to update the modules (with subversion tools) with the latest from the master branch on each module's GitHub repository.
