EE Installation

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:
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.)

ModelSim 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>

From 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:
