Synopsys FPGA Licensing Guide

Installing the Synthesis Tools Chapter 2: Installation
Solaris % tar -xvf toolversion_solaris.tar
Linux % tar -xvf toolversion_linux.tar
2. Go to the directory containing the extracted tar file:
% cd tar_directory
3. Run the platform-specific installation script:
Solaris % ./solaris/install.sh
Linux % ./linux/install.sh
4. Follow the instructions given in the installation script.
The installation script sets up the toolname_version directory in the
location you specified. The toolname is a character string that identifies
the Synopsys FPGA product, and version is the software version of the
product. For example, fpga is the toolname used for Synplify, Synplify
Pro, and Synplify Premier, and identify is used for the Identify RTL
Debugger, and so the directory name is /fpga_88, /identify_24, etc. This
directory is referred to as the install_dir in the remainder of this
document.
For Solaris installations, the script also installs the platform-specific
FLEXnet utilities in the install_dir/solaris directory.
After the software is installed, see Setting up a Linux or Solaris Client, on
page 3-30 for details. If you intend to set up your Solaris machine as a
license server, see Configuring Solaris License Servers, on page 3-17.
If you intend to set up your Linux machine as a license server, install the
USB security key (dongle) and USB daemon, setup the license server,
and start the license manager daemon as described in Configuring Linux
License Servers, on page 3-13.
