./build_and_install.sh v1.2.3 /home/user/MyCustomDir

Please open issues / merge requests in order to upstream your changes. (GSI account required)

History

The GSI Version of Silecs is a fork of the CERN Silecs version. It was forked 2018 and has evolved into a slightly different framework. The CERN Version of Silecs is difficult to access. It only can be viewed from within a CERN machine(proxy) while having a valid CERN-account. Here a link to the CERN Silecs Wiki.
