Cadence and Synopsys are collections of software which are both run through our servers. However, before they can be run, a number of setup tasks need to be done.

==Setup==
This setup assumes that you are using a linux operating system with openssh.

===Connection===

First, you must connect to candence1.cs.umbc.edu via ssh. Make sure to enable X-forwarding using the the -Y flag on the ssh command if the program uses a GUI. For example:
ssh -Y username@cadence1.cs.umbc.edu

===Sourcing Environment Variables===

Once you have entered the server, verify you are running bash with the command:
bash

Then source the environment variables files. They can be found in the "/umbc/software/scripts/" directory. Each program has it's own environment variable files, so find the one you need from the directory with the command
ls /umbc/software/scripts

Cadence's environment file as of writing is "cadence_2021.bashrc" while the synopsys tools use the pattern of "env_synopsys_programname.sh". Once you have found the correct file, source it like so
source /umbc/software/scripts/filename
With "filename" replaced with the correct environment file. For easier usage, you can add that "source" command to the "~/.bashrc" file, which will run each time you login.

===Running the Program===

Once you have successfully sourced the environment files, the program will have been added to your path, so you can run the program like usual.
