| **MacOS:** These packages can be installed using the [[https://brew.sh/|homebrew]] package manager. Note that on recent versions of MacOS, the C++ compiler provided by Apple does not accept the ''-fopenmp'' flag for OpenMP compilation, so you will likely need to install g++ using homebrew as well. | **MacOS:** These packages can be installed using the [[https://brew.sh/|homebrew]] package manager.

| **actsim and Xyce:** The ACT simulator also supports mixed analog/digital simulation using "Xyce". To include this feature, follow the instructions above. After that, follow the instructions provided by the [[https://github.com/asyncvlsi/actsim|''actsim'']] repository to re-build and re-install ''actsim''. | **actsim and Xyce:** The ACT simulator also supports mixed analog/digital simulation using "Xyce".

| | **Building from source.** Sometimes it is not possible to use package managers to install the required dependencies. In this case, the standard approach that we use is to install the missing dependencies by setting the install directory to ''$ACT_HOME''. GNU autotools support the ''--prefix=$ACT_HOME'' (two hyphens before ''prefix'') option to the generated ''configure'' script, and CMake supports ''-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$ACT_HOME''. |
