In this tutorial we learn how to install hct in Fedora 36. hct is A HDL complexity tool

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install hct on Fedora 36.

What is `hct`

The goal of the HCT is to generate scores that represent the complexity of the constituent modules of large integrated circuit design projects – i.e. SOCs. The design’s complexity scores are useful to verification teams so as to efficiently focus resources based on the dynamic complexity profile of a design. The scores are a useful tool to guide HDL designer’s re-factoring efforts.

We can use yum or dnf to install hct on Fedora 36. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install hct.
