Hello, I am trying to downloading this klayout file. I am now getting processing errors for klayout. Can someone assist me?

@Fehintola Sangodeyi Can you try installing the dependencies listed first? For example,

sudo apt install python

You may need to specify the version.

when i try to install the dependencies, it either states its uninstallable or its outdated.

You probably don’t install lib*. Try sudo apt install python

If you install the klayout package using apt it will automatically try to fix the dependencies.

apt install /home/fesan1/Downloads/klayout_0.29.0-1_amd64.deb

Try

sudo apt --fix-broken install python-is-python3

I think it worked.

@Fehintola Sangodeyi 🎉 Looks like python is installed now. Try the other dependencies

qt5

,

git

, and

ruby

.

It states there is no installation canidate

Right,

You probably don’t install lib*.

lib

is not part of the package name. For example, instead of

sudo apt install libruby2.7

try

sudo apt install ruby

or you may need to specify the version. See here.

Use

apt-show-versions git
apt-show-versions ruby

to find the installed versions. Update the versions if necessary

sudo apt install git
sudo apt install ruby

Is there a way to override klayout (not use klayout) to perform this https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZuGFJzpFksB83NFHbO_U5Uw3ufjbJ7ws&si=SE2l0ZhJCJyyat6o? Because none of the packages are actually available. I don’t want to repeat the same steps if I am not progressing.
