Vivado2017.2onUbuntu20.04LTS

Vivado 2017.2 is able to be install on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, however, there are some steps that needs to be done before the installation can be successful. Without any intervention, the Vivado installer gets stuck when it is generating installed device list. This is because the installer is looking for a file/directory that does not exist by default in 20.04. We can install a package that provides what the installer is looking for.

sudo apt install libtinfo5

The DocNav also does not work (but it will not prevent the Vivado installation). There are instructions here, but we currently have not been able to get them to work and the file he provide with the intermiditory steps down, but the SHA256 checksum is different so it needs it is possible that someone changed the file to add malicious code. https://blog.lazy-evaluation.net/posts/linux/vivado-2018-3-buster.html
