Note: Tested on:

Install following package before installing ISE:

$ sudo apt-get install libstdc++5 libmotif3 libxp6 libcurl3

Note: On new version of ISE webpack tcl console is not activated by default. To use it check the menu View->Panels->Tcl Console

download ISE WebPACK - WebInstall / ISE WebPACK 10.1 (Free Download) archive from here. You will need to create a Xilinx's account and register before being able to download files (it's free).
Choose the full download version "Download Files Individually" (2,4 Gbytes). When asked, you are not obliged to accept Java download manager (if you are sure of your Internet connection quality). Note the registration ID, it will be asked later during installation.

 $ cd $HOME
 $ tar xvf webpack_SFD.tar

 $ cd webpack
 $ ./setup
