Installing Cadence

The installation (and use) of the EDA package Cadence seems like folklore, nobody seems to know what they are doing, while some "gods" out there seem to get it right, they are not telling.

Names of packages, and what they do

OpenAccess --> some sort of database that stores the designs and stuff IC --> Analog chip design. Use this for designing transisters on a piece of silicon. Also for RF chips. IUS --> Old package name LDV. Digital design stuff. For VHDL. Also, has some verification tools.

First, what to install first.

It seems that this OpenAccess needs to be installed first. IC seems to depend on it.
