 Primary development of ACT is conducted on Linux and MacOS, and so it has been extensively tested on such systems. It has also been tested in certain [[install#Microsoft Windows|Windows]] environments (see below).
+The core library is available from [[https://github.com/asyncvlsi/act|Github]].
+**Note:** This only installs the core circuit design tools. For those interested in the full flow, please use the [[https://github.com/asyncvlsi/actflow|actflow]]  [[install_actflow|repo]]. The flow repository includes the core ACT repository, and includes many additional tools including ''actsim'', ''interact'', ''chp2prs'', and ''dflowmap'' (to name a few).

 ACT files are typically short since they are written by a designer. However, an ACT file generated by another program---especially if the program generates a flattened design---can be large. If an ACT process (or a namespace) has a very large number of instances/connections that are individually listed (i.e. in the input file) and the library crashes, try removing system limits on the stack size (using ''unlimit'' or ''ulimit'' depending on your shell) and re-running the program.
+NOTE: This issue has been fixed as of 7/10/2023.
 ===== Synopsys linkages =====
 Some of the library functionality can be linked into Synopsys ''vcs'' for co-simulation support. This requires some Synopsys header files (obviously not included in the ACT distribution).
