Introduction

EPICS-env is a self-contained, reproducible build environment for EPICS Base and a curated set of EPICS modules, managed entirely through GNU Make. The repository lives at github.com/jeonghanlee/EPICS-env.

This book collects the user-facing guides for the environment:

• Module Management — add, configure, replace, and remove modules, and audit their dependencies.
• EPICS Environment Parameters — the environment variables recognized by EPICS Base and PVXS.
• Archived Notes — links to era-specific platform and site records kept outside the book.

For the build quick start, supported platforms, and the prebuilt distribution, see the repository README.

Cycle records (work register, test plans, carry decision records) are maintained separately under docs/ in the repository; they are working records, not part of this book.
