1. In order to use Linux containers you will need to have lxd installed and initialized: lxd init. You may use the default configuration or a custom profile.

2. Install devlxd custom library for python following the guide at cristi-bourceanu/pylxd-dev

If you wish to test and develop the module within an isolate container, you may setup an LXC container using the script provided. You might need to edit setup.sh and use sudo for lxc command if your user is not privileged to call this command.

sh setup.sh

This will create a privileged container called sha2fpga with ssh enabled. It installs icarus, verilator, cocotb and cocotbext-axis. The src directory will be bound mounted to /home/ubuntu in the container.
