 1) First, ensure your setup_scripts is correctly setup.
 2) Navigate to the compiler directory: cd $OPENRAM_HOME
 3) Use the command: 
-   python tests/regress.py -t freepdk45
+   python tests/regress.py 
 4) To run a specific test:
-   python tests/{unit test}.py -t freepdk45
+   python tests/{unit test}.py 
 
 The unit tests take the same arguments as openram.py itself.
