PCells

If you would like to use the PCells, you need to install gdsfactory in your system-wide Python package installation. This can be as simple as running the following:

pip install --upgrade gdsfactory

Important

If you are using a Linux distribution that discourages the installation of system-wide Python packages through pip, you need to pass --break-system-packages.
