installing VHDL on ubuntu 15.04

Question

I want to learn VHDL for noc simulation (specifically noc router and buffer micro-architecture). I just know that VHDL is a programming language but I have no idea how can I use it and which simulators use VHDL. now these are my questions: does ubuntu suit for installing VHDL? and if the answer is yes, which simulator is good for noc architecture? and how can I install VHDL and that simulator on ubuntu step by step? and from where I can download a free version of that?

you can use "ghdl".More info here. – kashish Sep 28 '15 at 07:39 — kashish, Sep 28 '15 at 07:39

GHDL is available for many platforms. It supports VHDL 87, 93, 2002 and 2008. The user documentation is hosted on RTFD.

You can download *.deb packages for GHDL from GHDLs GitHub repository.

Or you compile it yourself from source. It's quite easy when you use the LLVM back-end. Build instructions.
