 + 
 +1) Locate your cds.lib in your profile (use the list command "​ls"​)
  
-<​code> ​/home/vsaxena/analog_design/models/ </​code>​+2) Open the cds.lib with a file editor. Click on this [[https://www.howtoforge.com/faq/how-to-edit-files-on-the-command-line|Link]] if you don't know how to do it. You can use vi or gedit editors. ​
