To launch the Vivado Design Suite from the Linux or Windows command line, you must install and configure the tool to run on the local machine. Installation adds the Vivado tools to the PATH.

When the tool is installed, enter the following at the command prompt:

vivado

When you enter this command, it automatically runs vivado -mode gui to launch the Vivado IDE. If you need help, type vivado -help.

Tip: To add the Vivado tools path to your current shell/command prompt, run settings64.bat or settings64.sh from the <install_path>/Vivado/<version> directory.
