Installation

It is recommended to install MyHDL (and your project's other dependencies) in a virtualenv.

Installing the latest stable release:

pip install myhdl

Unfortunately the version on PyPI is quite behind the current development status, so you are better off installing the stable master branch directly from this GitHub repository:

pip install git+https://github.com/myhdl/myhdl.git@master

To install a local clone of the repository:

pip install -e path/to/dir

To install a specific commit hash, tag or branch from git:

pip install git+https://github.com/myhdl/myhdl@f696b8

You can test the proper installation as follows:

cd myhdl/test/core
py.test

To install co-simulation support:

Go to the directory cosimulation/<platform> for your target platform and following the instructions in the README.txt file.
