+Xilinx Vivado 2014.4 on Debian Wheezy 64bit
+---------------------------------------------
+
+Download is 5.0GB; unziped installer is 5.2GB. /opt/Xilinx/Vivado/2014.4 is
+6.9GB; /opt/Xilinx/SDK/2014.4 is 4.9GB. So in total you'll want more than 22GB
+to download and install.
+
+Run the installer as sudo (no strictly necessary?). Select Vivado WebPACK.
+Install Cable Drivers and Software Development Kit (this later is big, another
+~5GB unextracted).
+
+When the install is done and license manager pops up, do the "Save link" thing
+(because you are running as root, browser probably won't work), then find that
+.html file and open it as your regular user; it will redirect. Select the
+Vivado WebPACK and SDK licenses (the ones with no expiration, not the
+evaluation ones).
+
+Create a ~/.profile or ~/.bashrc alias like:
+
+    alias vivadoenv2014.4="source /opt/Xilinx/Vivado/2014.4/settings64.sh"
