I am trying install mpw-6c setup using following command,

git clone -b mpw-6c <https://github.com/efabless/caravel_user_project> caravel_example
cd caravel_example
export OPENLANE_ROOT=~/<directory_name>/openlane # you need to export this whenever you start a new shell

export PDK_ROOT=~/<directory_name>/pdks # you need to export this whenever you start a new shell

make setup

but facing following error:

How about

sudo make setup

? Looks like it's trying to install/update

pygments

.

Yes tried that too. Again its failing with error

You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental
changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this
state without impacting any branches by switching back to a branch.

If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may
do so (now or later) by using -c with the switch command. Example:

  git switch -c <new-branch-name>

Or undo this operation with:

  git switch -

Turn off this advice by setting config variable advice.detachedHead to false

@donn ?

How about

sudo PWD=$PWD PDK_ROOT=$PDK_ROOT make setup

?

@Mitch Bailey Used

sudo PWD=$PWD PDK_ROOT=$PDK_ROOT OPENLANE_ROOT=$OPENLANE_ROOT make setup

problem in finding

volare

If your python modules have been updated, you may be ok without the

sudo

now. Try just

make setup

.

I'm not involved with setting up caravel.

@Mitch Bailey Thanks. Got fixed permission issue by using

sudo chown -R $USER /usr/local/lib/python3.6/

and

make setup

completed
