Before using POD you must verify that Python is installed on your computer.

$ python
Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Jul 31 2008, 17:28:52) 
[GCC 4.2.3 (Ubuntu 4.2.3-2ubuntu7)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

If you get a «command not found», install it. [1]

To install POD, simply unpack the archive in the directory of your choice:

tar -zxvf pod-r75.tar.gz

Then open pod/bin/define.py file to modify the binary path :

...
#global
BINARYPATH="path_to_pod/pod"
...

To simulate a project with ghdl you will need ghdl and gtkwave:

sudo apt-get install ghdl gtkwave

To synthesize the project for a Xilinx FPGA, the ISE Webpack is required, see [2].

And to compile the drivers for an ARMadeus platform, you will need the ARMadeus toolchain correctly configured, see [3].
