=== Linux ===
<pre>tar kxf Xilinx_ISE_DS_14.7_1015_1.tar
cd Xilinx_ISE_DS_14.7_1015_1
# when prompted "Select Products to Install" pick "ISE WebPACK"
# when prompted "Select Installation Options" pick "Acquire of Manage a License Key" and "Install Cable Drivers"
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/Xilinx/14.7/ISE_DS/ISE/lib/lin64 /opt/Xilinx/14.7/ISE_DS/common/bin/lin64/xlcm
# load the Xilinx.lic file that will be emailed to you when you apply online
/opt/Xilinx/14.7/ISE_DS/ISE/bin/lin64/ise</pre>
If the license manager tries to launch a web browser but fails, while the error dialog is still open run the following command to manually get the generated URL:
<pre>ps -aux | grep http | grep xilinx</pre>
The USB programmer drivers won't compile under modern versions of Linux, so you must use an open source alternative:
[https://www.george-smart.co.uk/fpga/xilinx_jtag_linux/ Xilinx JTAG Linux – George Smart – M1GEO]
<pre>sudo apt-get install libusb-dev build-essential libc6-dev-i386 fxload
git clone git://git.zerfleddert.de/usb-driver
cd usb-driver
make
./setup_pcusb /opt/Xilinx/14.7/ISE_DS/ISE/</pre>
For the official Xilinx tools to use the open source driver, you must force it to use the specific <code>libusb-driver.so</code> library file:
<pre>export LD_PRELOAD=/opt/Xilinx/usb-driver/libusb-driver.so
/opt/Xilinx/14.7/ISE_DS/ISE/bin/lin64/impact</pre>
