recommended that you untar the file directly into each account.
Repeat the following for every user account:
unix$ cd /path/to/user/account1
unix$ gtar xzf /path/to/ces_ic_compiler_highperformancedesign_2013.12sp4.tar.gz

3. Lab database configuration and testing
======================================================================
Configuration
==============================
The "setup.csh" file is provided for your convenience.
Please modify it appropriately to match your local environment.
source the modified setup.csh file prior to testing and
running the labs.
Testing
==============================
To verify that the lab files are complete, and test for the correct
versions of the software, it is recommended that you run the supplied
test script (the current directory has to be the
"IC_Compiler_HighPerformanceDesign_2013.12-SP4" directory):
unix$

./.testscript

This will run a series of tests to verify that all files exist, and that
the tools can be invoked.
