#1719 Document how to use locally-built versions of programs Issue created by xobs Description The current openlane flow assumes the use of Docker where the entirety of the dependencies are located within the image. However, sometimes it is necessary to build local versions of the tools, such as when debugging segfaults within programs or when testing fixes. Rather than waiting several weeks for fixes to perccolate through build pipelines, it would be nice to be able to test new versions of builds immediately. There is mention of a "Containerless / Local" option at https://openlane.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting_started/installation/installation_local.html, but there is a note that the containerless flow is deprecated and "no longer supported". It's not clear how to tell the openlane scripts to use a local install rather than invoking

docker

, and it's not clear whether the containerless approach will be supported in the future. Proposal No response The-OpenROAD-Project/OpenLane
