Can anyone recommend me a link on how to install openlane, xschem, netgen, magic and skywater correctly?

I actually have mine installed in ubuntu OS running in vmware but sometimes I get error result. I'm not sure if it is working correctly.

I did run a test in openlane and did run a non interactive  mode in using spm design and task 1 file in workshop and it works fine. The non interactive mode for spm works well too. However if  I do run using spm design in interactive mode I got error after the run_routing stage.

Hey <@U02LTMS57CH> For magic installation you can check out open circuit design website. There in the magic tab look out for downloads and installation tab.

For xschem with skywater pdk you can check these two videos : <https://youtu.be/jXmmxO8WG8s|https://youtu.be/jXmmxO8WG8s>

<@U021BTRSZ5H> Thanks for answering. I did installed magic as instructed in open circuit design website but whenever I used magic i have to write in "magic -T sky130A" to use skywater technology. From what I see in the videos in youtube they just type magic without technology parameter and magic opens with skywate technology rightaway.

As for xschem I did follow stefan instruction in youtube. I think I installed it properly. Thanks

<@U02LTMS57CH> I guess in the openlane flow when you open .gds file with magic it opens with skywater technology.

<@U021BTRSZ5H> I think magic is installed corectly now. As for the openlane, I used the openraod project link on git. I'll try to reinstall it with efabless link on git next time. I hope I won't get the same error. Thanks

There are some good resources on Github but parsing through it all can be a challenge
