Add 'controls' and 'cdsadmin' user to sudo group. Create /etc/sudoers.d/users with the following:

```plaintext
cdsadmin ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
```
controls ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
apt install vim emacs tmux sudo
```
```
**_From this point on, we will be using the ‘controls’ user with sudo privileges to enter the commands. Commands will be entered into the command line and will be denoted with the prefix ‘controls@x2fec’_**
**Note: The LIGO standard UID for controls is 1001 across all systems. Any hosts connected to the FEC should follow this standard**

It is recommended to copy and paste the command below
The FEC exports the /opt/rtcds directory to the directly connected workstation, insert workstation ip into `<workstation-ip>`. Directions for mounting the NFS mount on the workstation will be included in the workstation setup instructions.**If you are configuring your front-end as a cymac (front-end and workstation on the same host), you can skip this step.**
# Install Required Software
Add the following content to `/etc/exports` and run `/usr/sbin/exportfs -a`. Restart the nfs-server.service.

after /etc/exports is modified, update the ntp server with:

## Install ezca, add soft-links (skip for CyMAC or standalone)
# Install EPICS Base
To build the real-time models, you also need the EPICS ezca package. However, this currently installs a level down at '/usr/lib/epics/extensions', so we need to add soft-links at /usr/lib/epics directories
We will get the Base and the python scripts that go with it
