Launching the Vivado Lab Edition from the Command Line on Windows or Linux - 2020.2 English

Enter the following command at the command prompt:

vivado_lab

C:\Xilinx\Vivado_Lab\2020.x\settings32.(bat|sh)

C:\Xilinx\Vivado_Lab\2020.x\settings64.(bat|sh)

You can open the Vivado Lab Edition from any directory. However, Xilinx recommends running it from a writable project directory, because the Vivado Lab Edition log and journal files are written to the launch directory. When running from a command prompt, launch the Vivado IDE from the project directory, or use the vivado_lab -log and journal options to specify a location. When using a Windows shortcut, you must modify the Start in folder, which is a Property of the shortcut. Failure to launch from a writable project directory results in warnings and unpredictable behavior from the tool.
