1. Dependencies

The tools supported by IHP-Open-PDK are open source and are not always distributed as binaries or through packages available to install using programs such as apt-get. In order to use the tools one has to compile/build it from the source code usually available on platforms like GitHub, GitLab, SourceForge, or Codeberg. Having all the build tools installed and meeting all necessary dependencies the installation program is usually straightforward.

1.1. Build tools

The first step to build a tool/program from a source code is to have build tools, what means necessary compilers and make systems, which allow the user to build the source code.

sudo apt-get install -y build-essential
sudo apt-get install -y qtbase5-dev qttools5-dev
sudo apt-get install -y clang cmake libtool autoconf
sudo apt-get install -y python3 python3-dev python3-pip python3-virtualenv python3-venv
sudo apt-get install -y ruby ruby-dev

1.2. Useful tools

Before performing installation from sources it is recommended to install some tools that are useful:

sudo apt-get install -y btop tree xterm graphviz git
sudo apt-get install -y octave liboctave-dev

1.3. Build dependencies

Below we present the key dependencies which have to be installed in order to build the tools supported by our PDK. The vast majority can be built from sources however some of them require manual compilation and install.
