Question

All

I a new users of Chisel in China and I found Chisel is build its program by using sbt. However, sbt seem need to download a lot of thing before it get to work. Do anyone have any idea to speed up this? Thank you.

Answer 1

The resolution and download of dependencies can be speeded up by using a proxy repository in China:

1. Create a ~/.sbt/repositories file like this.
2. Set SBT_OPTS: export SBT_OPTS="-Dsbt.override.build.repos=true"

Check the sbt documentation for more about the proxy repositories
