On Windows, Install Cable Drivers is an optional selection in the installer.

The installer for Linux begins removing this option, starting with Vivado 2015.4, due to requiring root or sudo access to install drivers for Linux. You can run the general Vivado installer on Linux without root or sudo privileges. To install cable drivers on Linux, you must now run a script as root or with sudo post-installation:

Script Location
<Vivado Install Dir>/data/xicom/cable_drivers/lin64/install_script/install_drivers/
Script Name
