Installation¶

Install wavekit from PyPI with Python 3.9 or newer:

python -m pip install wavekit

For development, clone the repository and install its Poetry environment:

git clone https://github.com/cxzzzz/wavekit.git
cd wavekit
poetry install

FSDB support¶

FSDB support requires the Verdi NPI runtime (libNPI.so).

In a typical Verdi setup, VERDI_HOME is already set, so no additional configuration is usually required. If it is not, make libNPI.so discoverable using one of these options:

• WAVEKIT_NPI_LIB: direct path to libNPI.so;
• VERDI_HOME: Verdi installation directory;
• LD_LIBRARY_PATH: a library search path containing libNPI.so.

Check the runtime before opening an FSDB file:

from wavekit import has_fsdb_support

print(f"FSDB support: {has_fsdb_support()}")

Verify the installation¶

python -c "import wavekit; print(wavekit.__version__)"

Then continue with the FIFO occupancy tutorial.
