LivEPICS is a Linux live CD that includes: Epics Base (release R3.14.7), Extensions tools, introductory documents and manuals. It has the complete functionality to develop a small control system, but it is mainly intended for training classes or to monitor and supervise an EPICS network.

The goal of LivEPICS is:

- Allows to use EPICS without installation on the hard disk.
- Automatic setup of environment variables to compile and test new applications from scratch.
- Includes the basic tools (MEDM, VDCT, etc.) with the related documentation.
