6 | | -OpenROAD Flow is a full RTL-to-GDS flow built entirely on open-source tools. |
7 | | -The project aims for automated, no-human-in-the-loop digital circuit design |
8 | | -with 24-hour turnaround time. |
| 6 | +OpenROAD-flow-scripts (ORFS) is a fully autonomous, RTL-GDSII flow |
| 7 | +for rapid architecture and design space exploration, early prediction |
| 8 | +of QoR and detailed physical design implementation. However, ORFS |
| 9 | +also enables manual intervention for finer user control of individual |
| 10 | +flow stages through Tcl commands and Python APIs. |

| 14 | +## Tool Installation |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +### Local Installation |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +Document for detailed local installation steps found [here](./docs/user/BuildLocally.md). |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +### Docker Based Installation |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +To ease dependency installation issues, ORFS uses docker images. |
| 23 | +Docker image includes ORFS binaries, applications as well as all |
| 24 | +required dependencies. All of the flow tools are encapsulated |
| 25 | +inside the container image. |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +If `Docker` is not installed already, install latest docker tool |
| 28 | +based on OS from [here](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/). |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +To manage docker as non-root user and verify that you can run |
| 31 | +`docker` commands without `sudo` must complete steps from |
| 32 | +[here](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/linux-postinstall/). |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +#### Build ORFS with Docker |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +Document for detailed steps on docker based installation found |
| 37 | +[here](./docs/user/BuildWithDocker.md). |
