I've downloaded and successfully installed Xilinx ISE Web Pack 14.4 on Ubuntu 12.10 although I'm unable to launch it.
Well: it's UNIX, so there are multiple ways to do it.
One of them is this
Some preparations (needed only once)
$ cd .../14.4/ISE_DS
$ chmod u+x *.csh *.sh
Execute the correct settings script you can find in the root of the installation
$ /path_to_the_installation_dir/14.4/ISE_DS/settings64.sh
For a none cshell system with 64 bits.
Run a Xilinx tool
$ /path_to_the_installation_dir/14.4/ISE_DS/ISE/bin/lin64/ise
$ /path_to_the_installation_dir/14.4/ISE_DS/ISE/bin/lin64/coregen
$ /path_to_the_installation_dir/14.4/ISE_DS/EDK/bin/lin64/xps
$ /path_to_the_installation_dir/14.4/ISE_DS/EDK/bin/lin64/xsdk
If you want a better system I advise you to take a look at the TCL version of the Modules tool.
How to setup your Unix environment to point to the correct licenses can be found in installation document of Xilinx.

I use v0.6, but certain packages do not function with v0.6 (such as Interact.jl). How can I install v0.5? I am running Ubuntu 16.04.
First we have to download the latest Julia version from https://julialang.org/downloads/
I used the “Generic Linux Binaries for x86” version. The choice between x86 and ARM depends on the processor of your machine. Also choose between 32 bit and 64 bit versions based on the operating system and processor you have on your machine.
After download, you will get a compressed tar.gz archive having name similar to “julia-0.6.2-linux-x86_64.tar.gz”. As the “julia-0.6.2-linux-x86_64.tar.gz” name suggests that I downloaded the Julia version 0.6.2 which is latest at the time of writing this.
The names may differ. Adapt the names accordingly.
Remember these are binaries, these don't need to be installed as they can be directly used from the directory they are extracted.
I am assuming that the downloaded file is in your ~/Downloads directory of Ubuntu.
Open the terminal and navigate to the directory where the downloaded tar.gz file is stored, in present case the Downloads directory.
The terminal when just opened will show:
x#xpc:~$
where x should be replaced by your username and xpc should be replaced by your computer name.
Navigate to the Downloads directory using cd Downloads and then press Enter to get following terminal:
x#xpc:~/Downloads $
Extract the tar.gz file using the command
tar -zxvf julia-0.6.2-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
Now a directory with extracted contents will be generated in the same parent directory as of the compressed archive with a name similar to julia-xxxxxxxxxx where xxxxxxxxxx may be a combination of alphabets and numerals.
This is the final directory you need to run the latest Julia version, no installation is needed.
To run Julia, you can directly run using the julia file in location julia-xxxxxxxxxx/bin/julia as discussed below.
Navigate to the bin directory in the extracted directory using
cd /Downloads/julia-xxxxxxxxxx/bin
The terminal will now be like:
x#xpc:~/Downloads/julia-xxxxxxxxxx/bin $
Now run the command ./julia to run julia on the terminal as shown below.
The terminal will now change to julia as presented below. I know the representation is little different here as this is all I can manage to copy from the terminal to present it to you.
julia>
But the problem is that I have to navigate to the directory every time to run Julia.
Many people have discussed on the internet about defining the path and alias through very complex procedures and as I am not a hardcore computer geek, it was really difficult for me to understand.
I came to know about making a soft link.
So I decided to make a soft link to the Julia to run it directly from anywhere with a short command without navigating to the directory containing it.
I always try to do things neatly, so I decided to keep the extracted directory named julia-xxxxxxxxxx in the /opt directory of my system as most of my important programs reside in that.
You need root permissions to copy a file into the /opt directory, so I used the command sudo su and then provided password to get the super user privileges:
x#xpc:~$ sudo su
[sudo] password for x:
root#xpc:/home/x#
Now navigate to the directory presently containing the extracted directory:
root#xpc:/home/x# cd /Downloads/
root#xpc:/home/x/Downloads#
Copy the directory using:
root#xpc:/home/x/Downloads# cp -r julia-xxxxxxxxxx /opt
After the directory is copied to the destination, now we will make the soft link in a directory which is in the system path so that the soft-link can be called from any location to run Julia.
To find out the directories in the system PATH use echo $PATH, you will get a list of paths of directories separated by colon(:) such as /usr/local/bin. You can use any of them. I used /usr/local/bin for the soft link.
Navigate to the chosen folder.
root#xpc:/home/x# cd /usr/local/bin
The terminal will become
root#xpc:/home/x/usr/local/bin#
Create the soft link using
root#xpc:/home/x/usr/local/bin# sudo ln -s /opt/julia-xxxxxxxxxx/bin/julia julia
Now return to the normal user terminal using the keyboard combination Ctrl+D at the empty terminal root#xpc:/home/x/usr/local/bin#.
The terminal prompt will become:
x#xpc:~$
Type the newly made soft link i.e. julia in the terminal as shown below
x#xpc:~$ julia
This is where the magic happens and you get this:
julia>
The instructions can be used for any version of Julia in Ubuntu.

Firstly, you should really read the post that Reza Afzalan linked. It gives you everything you need to know about how to install. If you prefer a list:
Go to the Julia download page.
Download the Generic Linux Binary for your OS (probably 64-bit for Ubuntu 16).
Install it.
Find where the installed Julia binary executables are stored on your machine.
Symlink Julia v0.5 and Julia v0.6 to different aliases, e.g. julia5 and julia6. You can store the symlinks in a directory like /usr/local/bin.
Open julia5.
Start downloading your packages with Pkg.add.
It's very easy, here's how to install it on Linux in 8 steps:
1- go to Julia downloads page
2- Choose you version (32bit or 64bit) from Generic Linux Binaries, and then download it.
3- extract .tar.gz file in home or any place you would like to install Julia on it.
4- run > gksudo gedit /etc/environment on your terminal to setup envirnment path.
5- edit file :/Path_To_extracted_File/bin in my case it was like this:
":/home/okasha/julia-d386e40c17/bin"
6- Save edits and close the file.
7- Restart your machine.
8- Open your terminal again and run > julia -version
you shoud get "julia version 0.6.2" for Example according to your installed julia version.
Run > julia to open julia session.

Just type this
sudo apt install julia
I'm using cygwin installed on Windows 10 and trying to access awscli from it.
I used pip install awscli to install awscli. This installed awscli. I then tried to run only aws to see if it is installed and I get the following error:
-bash: /cygdrive/c/Program Files/Anaconda2/Scripts/aws: C:\Program: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
I'm not sure why this is happening. Any help in this regard would be highly apreciated.
This is still an issue even with the latest version of AWS cli. So after some trial and error I found a pretty good workaround that will not make you switch your favorite shell.
First, make sure python is on your PATH. That is from anywhere in the system you can just run python and it work.
Find the aws script and open it for editing (for me it was located in c:\Program Files\Python36\Scripts\aws) and change the hashbang (that would be the first line in the script) to #!python.exe. For me it was set to #!c:\Program Files\Python36\python.exe. That space in the middle of Program Files caused the issue when that path got converted to Linux like path. Changing it to #!python.exe sidesteps the issue.
When you update AWS cli, repeat the workaround.
PS. You could also avoid this issue by installing python somewhere in a folder without spaces in path. That requires to reconfigure your system, so I did not do that myself.
I would install the standard python and ensure it is coming up first in your path with which python and which pip. Path issues like this are due to mixing and matching executables targeting different platforms in my experience. Certain commands do not implement functionality to convert paths from Windows to Linux and back (it appears your specific commands are failing on spaces).
Since you say you are on Windows 10, if you have the anniversary edition, I would recommend Windows Subsystem for Linux over cygwin. You will likely see less Windows issues on WSL since it uses the exact same ubuntu packages you would use on Linux instead of the cygwin port and maps them low level to the NT Kernel.
The Problem comes from "Program Files" having a space. This is something that is related to cygwin (I encountered the same error with git bash on windows). In a script I had something like this:
#!/c/Program Files/some_program/executable.exe
Escaping the space with a backslash or using quotes didn't work.
The solution is to use the DOS' short filename:
Progra~1 for "Program Files"
Progra~2 for "Program Files (x86)"
So my line would turn into:
#!/c/Progra~1/some_program/executable.exe
In Windows:
cd .. to go to home directory which shows pwd as /.
Now, cd to /cygdrive/c/Program\ Files/Anaconda2/Scripts
Now, run: python aws configure
Example:
user#user /cygdrive/c/Program Files/Anaconda2/Scripts
$python aws configure
I'll love something like Microsoft Visual Studio's line-by-line debugging in bash, with current variables values and so.
Is there any tool or way to do it? set -x and set -v are nice but not perfect.
See bashdb.
If it's installed on your system, see man bashdb.
If it's not installed, see http://bashdb.sourceforge.net
Yes. Use "bashdb" from http://bashdb.sourceforge.net/
Latest version at time of writing
http://sourceforge.net/projects/bashdb/files/bashdb/4.2-0.8/
If you are on a Mac (like I was) then you might need to install the GNU version of Bash.
I did that using "MacPorts"
http://www.macports.org/
Once you have MacPorts...
port install bash
Then follow the instructions to
./configure (in bashdb unpacked directory)
make
sudo make install
Then add the folder where bashdb can be found in your PATH

I'm on a Windows XP box. I'm using putty 0.60 to access a unix account on a server running SunOS 5.10. In my .profile file I have the command "bash" to put me into that shell upon logging in.
I know with Linux there are options to display files and directories in different colors when I issue the command "ls".
Can the same thing be set up for bash running in SunOS 5.10 ?
Thanks much in advance for any information.
Steve
as i understand it, the solaris version of ls (which you get by default in SunOS 5.10) does not support colored output. you'd have to install the gnu version of ls, which is included in the coreutils package.
rather than explain the process of installing the package, i'll direct you to this link instead:
http://tille.garrels.be/training/solaris/colorls.php
if you can't install packages on that server, you may be out of luck. hth
