I had another doubt in the initial steps The git clone of <https github com efabless caravel user project> already has a directory named openlane So am I supposed to set the OPENLANE ROOT variable to a path other than lt cloned directory gt openlane before running make openlane unlike what the README instructs It conflicts and errors out saying there already exists an openlane directory if I use the path of the existing openlane directory

I had another doubt in the initial steps. The git clone of https://github.com/efabless/caravel_user_project already has a directory named openlane. So am I supposed to set the OPENLANE_ROOT variable to a path other than <cloned_directory>/openlane before running make openlane (unlike what the README instructs)? It conflicts and errors out saying there already exists an openlane directory if I use the path of the existing openlane directory.

Simply answer: NO. I fell into the same trap two days ago 😉
