Prerequisites

Docker (ensure docker daemon is running) -- tested with version 19.03.12, but any recent version should suffice.

Step-1: Docker in ubuntu 20.04 version

   sudo apt update
   sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https curl rtificates -agent software-properties-common
   curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
   sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu focal stable"
   sudo apt update
   apt-cache policy docker-ce
   sudo apt install docker-ce

   #Add User Name to docker
   sudo usermod -aG docker <your user name>
   # Reboot the system to enable the docker setup

Step-2: Update the Submodule, To to project area

   git submodule init
   git submodule update

Step-3: clone Openlane scripts under workarea

   git clone https://github.com/The-OpenROAD-Project/OpenLane.git

Step-4: add Environment setting

    export CARAVEL_ROOT=<Carvel Installed Path>
    export OPENLANE_ROOT=<OpenLane Installed Path>
    export OPENLANE_IMAGE_NAME=efabless/openlane:latest
    export PDK_ROOT=<PDK Installed PATH>
    export PDK_PATH=<PDK Install Path>/sky130A

Step-5: To install the PDK

   source ~/.bashrc
   cd OpenLane
   make pdk
