After obtaining a copy of the distribution, it must be installed and built for use at your site.

Create an installation directory for the module, usually this will end with

../support/
Place the distribution file in this directory. Then issue the commands (Unix style)
```
tar xvzf RX-Y.tar.gz
```
where X-Y is the release.
This creates a <top> application.
```
.../support/dxpSITORORX-Y
```
Edit the configure/RELEASE file and set the paths to your installation of EPICS base and to your versions of supporting modules.
Run gnumake in the top level directory and check for any compilation errors.
