Installation

DV Flow Manager is most easily installed from the PyPI repository:

% pip install dv-flow-mgr

Once installed, DV Flow Manager can be invoked using the dfm command:

% dfm --help

Tool Plug-ins

It is common to install additional plug-ins that provide tasks for specific tools. For example, the dv-flow-libhdlsim package provides the tasks needed to build and run HDL simulations:

% pip install dv-flow-libhdlsim

Plug-ins are ordinary Python packages; install the ones your flow imports and they are discovered automatically.
