Before installing, make sure to upgrade your pip to the latest version:
pip install --upgrade pip
Latest Release (Recommended)
The latest release of Manta can be installed from PyPI with:
pip install --upgrade manta-fpga
Development Snapshot
The latest development snapshot of Manta can be installed with:
pip install --upgrade git+https://github.com/fischermoseley/manta.git
It's recommended to install Manta into a virtual environment, instead of your system Python. Among the many other benefits virtual environments offer, this will conveniently add the manta executable to your PATH. This allows you to invoke the tool with manta, rather than the more verbose python3 -m manta.
Editable Development Install
If you're working on the source, you might want an editable installation with some extra dependencies used for development:
git clone https://github.com/fischermoseley/manta.git
cd manta
uv sync
source .venv/bin/activate
pre-commit install
The build system also uses the open-source xc3sprog and iceprog tools for programming Xilinx and ice40 devices, respectively. If you'd like to run these tests locally, you may need to install these tools and have them available on your PATH.
If you're on Linux, you may also need to add a new udev rule to give non-superuser accounts access to any connected FTDI devices. This can be done by making a new file at /etc/udev/rules.d/99-ftdi-devices.rules, which contains:
ACTION=="add", ATTR{idVendor}=="0403", ATTR{idProduct}=="6010", MODE:="666"
Be sure to reload your udev rules after saving the file. On most distributions, this is accomplished with:
udevadm control --reload-rules && udevadm trigger
