Install New Instrument#
Describes the steps to install a new bluesky instrument.
Note
These instructions have been written for workstations running the Linux operating system. They may be used for other operating systems but expect some modifications are necessary. One such modification is that the libhkl library, needed for diffractometer support, is only available for Linux x86_64 host architectures.
Warning
In Linux, use the bash command shell. For more info see what is bash?
