No setup commands in `README.md` file about open_pdks HOT 4 CLOSED

It says "Instructions" and points you to the README in the "target foundry process" which would in this case be sky130.
So if you follow that and go look at sky130/README, you'll see the full set of installation instructions. Except that those are not the instructions that you, specifically, want to follow (see below).

The scattershot location of instructions are largely a result of several overhauls of the code since its inception. Cleanup will happen eventually.

The above is sort of correct; it's just that what you want out of it is the magic techfile, which is why I directed you to cd to sky130 and do "make tools-a". Normally one just does "make" from the top level, but since that presupposes that the skywater-pdk repo is installed, then it's not what you want to do to get just the techfile for using to build the skywater-pdk repo. The instructions you want to follow are atypical. Likewise, there is no need for you to have the skywater-pdk or run "make timing". You don't even need to have "--with-sky130-source=" pointing to anything relevant; it just needs to be set to something non-null to keep the make script from failing.

Fixed this, too. It will show up in github in a few hours.

I've yet to be able to make the instructions work....

This has been reworked several times, most recently in #127, so I'm closing this issue.
