Verilog AMS simulation error

HI While running the verilog ams simulation 

I got below error 

Cannot find xmvlog executable in your path. Please update your path to point to the correct executable or use vmsNcvlogExecutable variable to specify the executable to use

    That's presumably because xmvlog is not in your path!

    You need to have an XCELIUM release installed (e.g. XCELIUM2409) and then have <XCELIUMinstDir>/tools/bin in your UNIX $PATH before running virtuoso.

    Typing "which xmvlog" or "which xrun" in the UNIX terminal should find the path to the relevant executables needed to run AMS. You'll need SPECTRE installed too (e.g. SPECTRE231 or SPECTRE241).

    Regards,

    Andrew
