• CentOS 8

If Linux a 64-bit Linux machine is not available, you can install VirtualBox with CentOS 7 or CentOS 8 in order to use Impulse tools.

...

1. Visit NanoXplore-download and sign-in or register to download:

   • NXLMD => NXLMD-2.1-linux.tar.gz

   • Impulse => nxdesignsuite-version-.tar.gz

   • NxBase2 => NxBase2-2.5.3.1.tar.bz2

2. Save Impulse tools to your ~/Downloads folder or a location of your choice

3. Create a New Folder named NanoXplore in the /opt directory

4. Unpack your downloaded NanoXplore tool directly to /opt/NanoXplore

5. Repeat this process for each NanoXplore tool

...

1. To unpack NxBase2 tool directly once downloaded into /opt/NanoXplore, you must first create a folder named NXbase2- 2.5.3.1 via the following command:

   Code Block
   $> sudo mkdir NxBase2-2.5.3.1

2. After competing this step, unpack NxBase2 from the ~/Downloads folder (or you download location) using the following command:

   Code Block
