Installation Procedure
-----------------------------------------------------------------
This section contains the following information:
- Installation Prerequisites
- Installing by Electronic Software Transfer (EST)
- Installing Product Files From a CD
Installation Prerequisites
=====================================================================
It is recommended that you log on as root or have system administrator
privileges. Also, you must have write permission in the
installation directory.
Installing by Electronic Software Transfer (EST)
=====================================================================
If you did not obtain this INSTALL_README file from the EST (ftp) download
directory for your product, follow the instructions in the README or
INSTALL_README file in the download directory for the product or product
suite you are installing.
Note:
If there is no README or INSTALL_README file in the product download
directory, go to the Electronic Software Transfer Web page at
https://www.synopsys.com/cgi-bin/est.cgi
or see the EST instructions in the Installation Guide at
**broken link removed**.
1. Download the required product files to a temporary directory.
For most products, you will need to download
* A common file, which contains the install.now installation
script and other files that are not platform dependent
* A platform file, which is specific to the operating system and
hardware platform you will be using
Note:
If you download more than one product, you must copy the files for each
product to a separate temporary directory.
Example:
% cd /usr/tmp/tmpdir1
% ftp ftp.synopsys.com
220 Synopsys FTP server ready
Name: <your_synopsys_username>
Password: <your_synopsys_password>
230 User <your_synopsys_username> logged in.
ftp> binary
ftp> cd rev
ftp> cd ns_v2003.03
ftp> get
INSTALL_README.TXT
ns_2003.03_<platform>.tar
where <platform> is one or more of hp32, hp64,
sparcOS5, sparc64, linux.
ftgp> quit
2. Untar the common file and the product files.
Example:
% tar xvf ns_2003.03_common.tar
% tar xvf ns_2003.03_sparcOS5.tar
Note:
If the files are in tar.Z or tar.gz format, you must
uncompress them before you untar them. Use the "uncompress"
utility to uncompress tar.Z files and the "gzip" (gzip -dc)
utility to uncompress tar.gz files.
The temporary directory should now contain these files,
install.now
INSTALL_README.TXT
LABEL.SYS
README.1ST
README.ns
ns.taz files
<platform> subdirectories
where <platform> is hp32, hp64, sparcOS5, sparc64, linux, and so on.
If the temporary directory does not have the appropriate files,
make sure you have downloaded and uncompressed both the common
file and the platform files.
If the download directory does not have a common file, the software is
most likely an overlay patch for an existing release and not a stand-alone
product. Check the SolvNet Release Library for details.
3. To install the software, enter the installation command:
% ./install.now
4. Answer the installation script prompts.
When you are prompted to choose a location for installing the
software, do not select the temporary directory. You must
specify a new location.
If you are installing multiple operating system platforms, you
need to install the platform-independent package only once for
each product. The platform-independent package contains files
that are common to all the supported platforms.
5. After installation is complete, each user must set the SNPSLMD_LICENSE_FILE
environment variable to point to the Synopsys license key file by using
path syntax or port@host syntax.
Example:
setenv SNPSLMD_LICENSE_FILE /path/to/synopsys.lic [path syntax]
setenv SNPSLMD_LICENSE_FILE 27000@myserver [port@host syntax]
For more information on setting this variable and on other
steps to take after installation, see the "Post-Installation
Steps" section of this document.
Installing Product Files From a CD
=======================================================
For instructions on installing your product from a CD, see the Installation Guide.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Post-Installation Steps
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Setting Up the User Environment
========================================================
To set up your users, you must create a Synopsys source file, or modify
each user's $HOME setup files (typically .profile, .kshrc, or .bashrc),
by adding the following information to the user environment:
1. Set the SNPSLMD_LICENSE_FILE variable.
2. Add the tool executable files to the user PATH.
3. Set any tool-specific variables.
Information about each of these steps follows. For tool-specific
information, see "Setting Up <product_name> for Each User" in the
appropriate tool chapter in the Installation Guide.
1. Set the SNPSLMD_LICENSE_FILE variable
----------------------------------------
This variable specifies the path to the Synopsys SCL/FLEXlm license server.
In the following example, it is assumed that the Synopsys license server is
using TCP port 27000, the default port for single servers. (However, another
port might be specified at the end of the SERVER line of your site's license
keyfile. For example, "SERVER myserver 8308a297 26585".)
Example:
* Add to .cshrc
setenv SNPSLMD_LICENSE_FILE /path/to/synopsys.lic
or
setenv SNPSLMD_LICENSE_FILE 27000@myserver
* Add to .profile, .kshrc, or .bashrc
SNPSLMD_LICENSE_FILE=/path/to/synopsys.lic; export SNPSLMD_LICENSE_FILE
or
SNPSLMD_LICENSE_FILE=27000@myserver; export SNPSLMD_LICENSE_FILE
2. Add the tool executable files to the user PATH
--------------------------------------------
Typically, you need to add the following directory to the user path:
(synopsys_root)/<platform>/<product>/bin
Example:
Add to .cshrc:
set path=(synopsys_root)/<platform>/ns/bin $path)
Add to .profile, .kshrc, or .bashrc:
PATH=(synopsys_root)/<platform>/ns/bin:$PATH
export PATH
3. Set any tool-specific variables
----------------------------------
In many cases, tool-specific environment variables must be set.
Typically, you need to set an environment variable that points
to the root directory for the Synopsys tool.
Example:
setenv SYNOPSYS /path/to/synopsys_root
Note:
Not all tools use the $SYNOPSYS environment variable. In some
cases, other tool-specific variables must be set. See the
Installation Guide for details.
Verifying the Tool Installation
===================================================================
To verify that the Synopsys tools are installed correctly, see the
appropriate tool chapter in the Installation Guide.
The Installation Guide is available in SOLD, in print format, and also
on the Web. For more information on how to access the Installation Guide,
see the "General Information" section at the top of this document.

* Be using a supported operating system
* Have applied the required OS patches.
