Installation of magic and skywater pdk

[Prabha1010]

I was watching your video to install magic and skywater pdk, but the links were not the same in open_pdks I installed magic and then skywater pdk as described withe ./configure and make Got this error with make install. Can you please help with this cp: cannot create regular file '/usr/local/bin/magic': Permission denied make[2]: *** [Makefile:87: /usr/local/bin/magic.sh] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/prabha/projects/foundry/skywater-pdk/magic/tcltk' make[1]: *** [Makefile:94: install-tcl-real] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/prabha/projects/foundry/skywater-pdk/magic' make: *** [Makefile:91: install-tcl] Error 2 prabha@DESKTOP-E32V3A5:~/projects/foundry/skywater-pdk/magic$

By default programs are installed in /usr/local. This is a system directory. You must be root to do that, so just add sudo before make install:

sudo make install

In my examples I install in my home directory (by giving a --prefix argument to ./configure), so I don't need sudo. See also this tutorial page.
