09/01/2022, 5:27 PMActually, you're the first I've heard bring up this request. So currently, no plans. @Eric Keiter Have you heard of anyone wanting this feature?

09/01/2022, 5:29 PMI don’t recall getting a conda-related request. But more broadly I’ve had a number of people request that Xyce work with a package management system. So far, the only package management system we’ve set up for Xyce is Spack.

09/01/2022, 5:39 PMoh, ok. I am able to install xyce with the provided rpm file on centos7 machine. I am trying to look for alternatives to install the latest xyce at any given time via a script which already installs a bunch of other tools. One alternative I found is building it from the source (github repo) which I believe is a long process (I haven't tried the complete flow TBH).

09/01/2022, 5:40 PMSo I started wondering if you are planning to provide a conda recipe just like how openroad, magic, netgen, ngspice are having right now

09/01/2022, 5:40 PMIf you use Spack, it will build everything from source automatically, including dependencies. So you might look into that if you don’t want to build Xyce by hand.

09/01/2022, 5:41 PMWe don’t currently have plans to do a conda package, but you are the first person who has mentioned it (AFAIK)

09/01/2022, 5:43 PMoh. no problem. I will try installing it via Spack. Thanks for answering @Eric Keiter and thanks for your quick response @Joshua Smith.

09/01/2022, 5:46 PMJust in case if you are planning something, efforts are being made to bring oseda tools under a single conda channel. https://github.com/hdl/conda-eda.

09/01/2022, 5:55 PMAn update @Eric Keiter: Looks like efforts are happening to build a conda package - https://github.com/hdl/conda-eda/issues/210

09/01/2022, 5:55 PMInteresting. I guess I hadn’t seen that!

09/09/2022, 10:53 PM@Binoy B there are spack instructions in this document: https://www.osti.gov/biblio/1813650
Eric Keiter
09/09/2022, 10:54 PMThat document is mostly about a python interpreter for Xyce (that we’re calling Xyce-pyMi), but you can use spack to install plain Xyce as well.
