Hi, "I already have Magic, Klayout, Yosys, Openroad, and open_pdk installed on my Linux machine. How can I install this new tool without affecting my existing tools?"

msaligane commented 1 year ago

Hi - OpenFASOC uses all the aforementioned tools. We provide an installer. @saicharan0112 @Chetanya. Fyi.

@ripudamank2 I would suggest you to start with the documentation. https://openfasoc.readthedocs.io/ Its merely cloning this repo and running the generates using the provided makefile provided under the generator

i think your not getting my point . I already has those tool which you mentioned with OpenFASOC and i dont want to install again . What the procedure to just setup FASOC without installing those tool .

msaligane commented 1 year ago

Then you just have to run the generators and pray you have the right versions.

The doc shared by Sai describes how to run it. Cheers.

I still stand by my answer. Let me break it down for you. Follow the docs, check the versions supported, install conda and those respective conda versions ( so that you don't have to waste your time debugging errors just because you are not using the verified versions of the tools which you already installed, and update them easily whenever the versions here on the repo gets updated after testing upon releases), clone the OpenFASoC git repo, go back to the doc and read how to run the generator you are interested in and follow those instructions.
