HP Model Sim EE manual Installation Unix platforms, Syntax Platform, Sparc, Platform Filename.tar

Installation - UNIX platforms

Before you begin a new ModelSim EE installation on a UNIX machine, make sure you have a Globetrotter license data file (license.dat file); you’ll need the file to run ModelSim. If you don’t have a license file see "Licenses - ModelSim EE" (p29).

Your workstation’s identification is required for a license; here are the commands that return the ID:

Syntax	Platform
hostid	SPARC
/etc/lanscan	HP 700
uname -m	RISC/6000

The commands used to install ModelSim are case-sensitive, so they must be entered exactly as shown in the following steps. (Note that neither the prompt nor the <Return> at the end of a line is shown in the examples.)

1ModelSim can be installed in any directory. These instructions assume that you are installing it in the /usr directory. You can change to the desired installation directory by entering one of the following commands:

cd /usr

or

cd <pathname>

2From a mounted ModelSim CD, extract the file for your platform with the following syntax (this creates the top-level directory modeltech):

tar xf /<CD-ROM>/WORKSTATION/install/<filename.tar>

where the <filename.tar> is:

Platform	<filename.tar>
All platforms	base.tar (extract for all platforms)
Sun OS-4/Solaris 1.x	sun4.tar
Sun OS-5/Solaris 2.x	sunos5.tar
