+If DRC/LVS runs, but doesn't pass, you then should look at the `.results`
 file. If the DRC fails, it will typically show you the command that was used
 to run Calibre or Magic+Netgen. 
 
-To debug, you will need a layout viewer. I prefer to use Glade 
-on my Mac, but you can also use Calibre, Magic, etc. 
 
-1. Klayout
-
-   You can view the designs in [Klayout](https://www.klayout.de/) with the configuration
-   file provided in the tech directories. For example,
-```
-  klayout temp.gds -l /home/vagrant/openram/technology/freepdk45/tf/FreePDK45.lyp
-```
-
-2. Calibre
-
-   Start the Calibre DESIGNrev viewer in the temp directory and load your GDS file:
-```
-  calibredrv temp.gds
-```
-   Select Verification->Start RVE and select the results database file in
-   the new form (e.g., test1.drc.db). This will start the RVE (results
-   viewer). Scroll through the check pane and find the DRC check with an
-   error.  Select it and it will open some numbers to the right.  Double
-   click on any of the errors in the result browser. These will be
-   labelled as numbers "1 2 3 4" for example will be 4 DRC errors.
-
-   In the viewer ">" opens the layout down a level.
-
-3. Glade
-
-   You can view errors in [Glade](http://www.peardrop.co.uk/glade/) as well. 
-
-   To remote display over X windows, you need to disable OpenGL acceleration or use vnc
-   or something. You can disable by adding this to your .bashrc in bash:
-```
-  export GLADE_USE_OPENGL=no
-```
-   or in .cshrc/.tcshrc in csh/tcsh:
-```
-  setenv GLADE_USE_OPENGAL no
-```
-   To use this with the FreePDK45 or SCMOS layer views you should use the
-   tech files. Then create a .glade.py file in your user directory with
-   these commands to load the technology layers:
-```
-ui().importCds("default",
-"/Users/mrg/techfiles/freepdk45/display.drf",
-"/Users/mrg/techfiles/freepdk45/FreePDK45.tf", 1000, 1,
-"/Users/mrg/techfiles/freepdk45/layers.map")
-```
-   Obviously, edit the paths to point to your directory. To switch
-   between processes, you have to change the importCds command (or you
-   can manually run the command each time you start glade).
-
-   To load the errors, you simply do Verify->Import Calibre Errors select
-   the .results file from Calibre.
-
-4. Magic
-
-   Magic is only supported in SCMOS. You will need to install the MOSIS SCMOS rules
-   and [Magic](http://opencircuitdesign.com/)
-
-   When running DRC or extraction, OpenRAM will load the GDS file, save
-   the .ext/.mag files, and export an extracted netlist (.spice).
-
-5. It is possible to use other viewers as well, such as:
-   * [LayoutEditor](http://www.layouteditor.net/)
-
-
-# Example to output/input .gds layout files from/to Cadence
-
-1. To create your component layouts, you should stream them to
-   individual gds files using our provided layermap and flatten
-   cells. For example,
-```
-  strmout -layerMap layers.map -library sram -topCell $i -view layout -flattenVias -flattenPcells -strmFile ../gds_lib/$i.gds
-```
-2. To stream a layout back into Cadence, do this:
-```
-  strmin -layerMap layers.map -attachTechFileOfLib NCSU\_TechLib\_FreePDK45 -library sram_4_32 -strmFile sram_4_32.gds
-```
-   When you import a gds file, make sure to attach the correct tech lib
-   or you will get incorrect layers in the resulting library.

+OpenRAM is available as a Python library. There are a few ways to install it:
+
++ Install using Makefile (you need to clone the repo):
+```
+git clone git@github.com:VLSIDA/OpenRAM.git
+cd OpenRAM
+make library
+```
++ Install the latest _dev_ version:
+```
+pip3 install git+ssh://git@github.com/VLSIDA/OpenramRAM.git@dev

+## Script Usage (with library)
+If you have the library installed, you can use OpenRAM in any Python script. You can import "openram" as follows:
+```python
+import openram
+import globals
+globals.init_openram("myconfig.py") # Config files are explained on this page
+```
+Note that you should import "openram" in this order so that the modules are imported properly. You can also look
+at `sram_compiler.py` as an example on how to use "openram."
+
+
+
+## Command Line Usage (with library)
+You can run OpenRAM from the command line  using the `sram_compiler.py` script that is included in the
+library's installation. You can the package directory on a path like:
+```
+/home/mrg/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/openram
+```
+
+Alternatively, you can run the following command to find that path:
+```
+echo -e "import os\nimport openram\nprint(os.path.dirname(openram.__file__))" | python3 -
+```
+
+You can continue with following section for more details.
+
+
+## Command Line Usage (without library)
 
 Once you have defined the environment, you can run OpenRAM from the command line
 using a single configuration file written in Python.
 
 For example, create a file called *myconfig.py* specifying the following
 parameters for your memory:
