How to open Xilinx ISE ?

To open Xilinx ISE is to source the settings64.sh file in the terminal. The command is as follows

source /opt/Xilinx/14.7/ISE_DS/settings64.sh

This command is followed by ise.

This opens Xilinx ISE

This process should be done every time to open ISE. This can become quite annoying.

Lets automate it

Open the bashrc file in Vim editor

Type the following command in the terminal vim ~/.bashrc

Add the sourcing command as an alias and save it.

Now Close the terminal and open it again We can now use the alias to source it.
