I have some questions 1-In building the PDK step, i have this error 2- If i have the PDK installed, do i need this step ? 3- for analog project we use caravan not caravel true ? Thanks for help!

1/2 You are using wrong instructions 2. You need to use the exact version of pdk that matches your openlane version. 3. true

Also the export commands are definetly wrong. Copy and paste it. DO NOT type it manually. I can see that you made many typos there

You need to be in the
caravel_user_project_analog
directory.

@Mitch Bailey ok should i edit pdk-installation-path to the path i want true ? and what's wrong with export commands ?! and he didn't know what volare is
and if i have the PDK installed, do i need this step ? or what's actullay done by this step ?
a
The export command 1 has '' which may or may not work. Second command uses wrong capitalization. Ia the pdk version matching the requirements and is installed using the make pdk volare? If not, you need that step

1. Install volare
python3 -m pip install --upgrade --no-cache-dir volare
2.
export PDK_ROOT=$HOME/Desktop/PDK
3.
export PDK=sky130A
4.
make pdk-with-volare

Your line has been truncated. It should be
Copy code

hello, i got stuck with this error, @Mitch Bailey do you know what could be the issue? I'm trying from the analog docker installation

Just a guess, but looks like you might not have permission to update the python libraries. Have you tried a virtual environment? https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/guides/installing-using-pip-and-virtual-environments/
