I am trying to use sky130-pdk with openlane tools.I followed the steps in github but i had a problem to install the docker version
needed as I am using VM centos6. So I Continued with the docker version I have "1.5".I ran ./flow.tcl -design spm as a test
An error appeared regarding "package require json" in all.tcl script.So how I could install or get this package to avoid this error

10/27/2020, 5:51 PMHi @sarah, can you list the commands you used here, and did you mount the docker eventually with 1.5 version or did the docker build/mounting fail eventually? Because the error you're getting means you ran
./flow.tclopenlane:rc3docker_build/tar/.bash_profiles

10/27/2020, 8:00 PMThe commands I used
git clone git@github.com:efabless/openlane --branch rc3
cd openlane/docker_build
make merge
cd ..
docker run -it -v $(pwd):/openLANE_flow -v $PDK_ROOT:$PDK_ROOT -e PDK_ROOT=$PDK_ROOT -u $(id -u $USER):$(id -g $USER) openlane:rc3
then ./flow.tcl -design spm in openlane directory

Also, bear in mind that you'll have to update the pdk to the commit hashes mentioned in rc3 to get the best of the flow. But, this is unrelated to this issue for now.

docker - version 1.5
Copyright 2003, Ben Jansens <ben@orodu.net>
Usage: docker [OPTIONS]
Options:
-help Show this help.
-display DISLPAY The X display to connect to.
-border The width of the border to put around the
system tray icons. Defaults to 1.
-vertical Line up the icons vertically. Defaults to
horizontally.
-wmaker WindowMaker mode. This makes docker a
fixed size (64x64) to appear nicely in
in WindowMaker.
Note: In this mode, you have a fixed
number of icons that docker can hold.
-iconsize SIZE The size (width and height) to display
icons as in the system tray. Defaults to

10/28/2020, 6:08 PMRegarding the bash_profile , I didn't change it but linked all inside the docker_build/build inside /usr/bin

10/28/2020, 7:38 PMAs for running natively, you'll have to figure it out. I only did it once (for two of the tools only) under the guidance of @Ahmed Ghazy months ago. But, the general guideline is untar the files into some directory and point to them using the same names (environment variables) defined in this docker file in your .bash_profile file. And, of course, install all dependencies mentioned in that same docker file. Then, theoretically you'll be able to run openlane natively.
