# How can I run the OpenROAD GUI on Ubuntu locally and not in Docker?
Tool: Graphical User Interface

How can I install and run the OpenROAD GUI locally?
I want the advantages of Docker, not having to install everything, easy to deploy upgrades, but when I run the OpenROAD GUI from docker, the experience is pretty good, but not quite as good as running locally on Ubuntu.
Another problem is that the OpenROAD-flow-scripts sets up a TON of environment variables, even if I had OpenROAD GUI installed locally, how could I get the envioronment set up correctly as I build various designs?
Example of how I run the OpenROAD GUI in Docker. To run my own designs, I map results, log, objects, designs to my local drive by modifying the script in the github issue below.

Ideally I'd like a debian package for the OpenROAD GUI. It seems like it should be possible to host a debian package on github, but it is a bit of work, especially considering that it probably needs to be built nightly to be truely useful in the open soruce development process: https://assafmo.github.io/2019/05/02/ppa-repo-hosted-on-github.html

Creating a snap package in the CI might be a good option https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/create-your-first-snap#1-overview

You would run the [dependency installer](https://github.com/The-OpenROAD-Project/OpenROAD/blob/master/etc/DependencyInstaller.sh) and then compiler OR locally (build_openroad.sh --local).
I'm surprised using docker makes much of a difference for the GUI. What do you see?
You can always mount your directory in docker so envars shouldn't be a big issue.
### mithro
Have you tried the conda packages?
