Trying to use openroad==2.0_10145_g0de6f5131 installed with conda gives the following error - openroad: error while loading shared libraries: libfmt.so.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

This error occurs only on Ubuntu20.04 because libfmt version 8 does not exist for it. Are there any workarounds to this?

I don't think we host a conda installation. The installer would be from a third party and you should ask them for support.

@proppy is the conda installer something you support?

yes, it seems they already filed an issue over at https://github.com/hdl/conda-eda/issues/360 (so feel free to close the issue here).
