Setting up user account for Cadence Virtuoso

[DefconNowhere]

Dear EDA/Cad experts:

Can you help me with a resource (e.g., document, tutorial, example or video) on how to setup user accounts and environment for Cadence virtuoso under Linux OS? I have already installed Cadence virtuoso so this is not about tool installation.

I have been on the user side for long time and remember calling scripts that would create a directory, run a shell and provide links to the Cadence installation. The script would allow users to setup their environment. They could call it multiple time with different names and setup multiple environments configured for different version of the tools but all under the same user Linux account.

Now I am on the CAD/EDA side and need to know how to setup and manage user environments as well as allowing them to access different versions, add or remove tools and modules, etc.

Any help or thought on some resources to explain the process is greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,

DefconNowhere

you need a bash script that will set PATH and LICENSE variables according to what the user wants. this is pretty normal setup, it has not much to do with CAD/EDA. it's just linux.

If there is an IT admin at your work place, you can ask for their help too in setting up.

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I am aware of that. My question was more about how to give users their own environment such that they can switch between different version of tools (e.g., one user may want to have Cadence IC 23 while the other may need Cadence IC 17 and so); also about how the same user can have multiple environments with different version configuration of Cadence tools.

I am the EDA admin But I suck at it. Hence, the reason for question.
