1. Download and install systemC from www.systemc.org.
2. Download the simulator archive nirgam.tgz and extract to a location of your choice. You should see a folder ‘nirgam’ having the directory structure as Figure 2.3.
3. cd into the nirgam directory. Hereafter we will refer to the path to nirgam directory as $NIRGAM.
4. Edit $NIRGAM/Makefile.defs to set variable SYSTEMC equal to your systemC installation path.
5. run make. This should create an executable ‘nirgam’ in $NIRGAM.
