My work #
-
Flatpak_Test_App (FOSSEE_Installer_Test): A proof of concept application, implemented using Qt5 and Flatpak Sandboxing. It provides features to:
- Install python3 packages (Using the pip) in the user space
- Extract binaries and libraries from pre-compiled packages
- Compile packages from source and install them in the user space
-
eSim-Tool-Manager: It works to resolve various eSim dependencies, such as KiCad, Ngspice, Verilator, Makerchip, GHDL, and OpenModelica by installing them as modules based on the user’s preferences/ use cases. My work focused on adding general Linux support to the tool and writing install scripts for the various modules.
