Mr Tim Edwards did not recommend installing all of the standard cell libraries as part of the skywater-pdk "make" process (for those of you participating in efabless tapeouts).
The files are quite big, and the recommendation of Mr. Edwards is to get only "sky130_fd_sc_hd" (which is the most commonly used standard cell library)and "sky130_fd_sc_hvl" (because it's the only 3.3V-5V compatible logic library).
The "sky130_fd_pr" has the technology primitives and is important for those of you interested in analog design.
Choose which of this submodules suits best your needs.
If you download all the libraries be aware that it will take around 12GB.

make timing
The most important lib is the "sky130_fd_pr", which has the technology primitives. The lib "sky130_fd_io" is the I/O cells and could be needed for better simulation considering the pads. We won't need them for the MPWs, as we won't design the top-level. All the other libs are variations of the standard cells: hd (high density), lp (low power), hvl (high voltage), hs (high speed).
Make timing actually compiles the digital standard cell libraries. It would be interesting for upcoming ULV logic synthesis.
