Editing Installing Xilinx ISE (section)

== Step 1: Downloading the Required Files from DFS ==

In order to install Xilinx ISE on Linux, you must download the installer from the Rose-Hulman DFS. '''For instructions on how to connect to DFS, please follow the tutorial in [[Accessing DFS]].'''

You can use "cd" to move around the virtual file system, "ls" to see what files are available in the current directory, "pwd" to see which directory you're in, and "get" to download a file from the Samba server.

To get to the folder to install the ISE, type the following command into Samba and press enter.

<code> cd DFSRoot/AcademicAffairs/CSSE/Xilinx/14.7 </code>

This will bring you to the directory that has the install folder.
Use ls to see the files in the directory

<code> ls </code>

Use the get command to download the ISE installer onto your computer into the /tmp directory. '''WARNING: THIS WILL TAKE around 1-2 hours (sometimes more!) depending on the speed of your Samba connection. Don't disconnect while this happens.'''

<code> get Xilinx_ISE_DS_Lin_14.7_1015_1.tar /tmp/Xilinx_ISE_DS_Lin_14.7_1015_1.tar </code>

Now you will find the ISE installer in the /tmp directory.

Unzip the folder by going to /tmp and typing tar xf Xilinx_ISE_DS_Lin_14.7_1015_1.tar.

Now go inside the extracted Xilinx_ISE_DS_Lin_14.7_1015_1 directory by typing <code>cd Xilinx_ISE_DS_Lin_14.7_1015_1</code>.
