    vitis -new -w <workspace>

For other supported launch modes, see Launch Options.

Note: Before launching the Vitis Unified IDE, you can set up other environmental settings to ensure that the tool can pick up these settings. For example, you can set up Xilinx Runtime (XRT) for building and running data center acceleration applications:
source <XRT_Install_Path>/setup.sh
You can set up the platform repository path with the following example: 
export PLATFORM_REPO_PATHS=<platform_path>
