Download

Download two files from Intel Download Center for FPGAs:

• Cyclone IV device support

Exact names of these files depend on OS:

Linux

• QuartusLiteSetup-18.1.{minor_version}.run
• cyclone-18.1.{minor_version}.qdz

Please note that minor versions may vary.

Installation

Linux

Place the files in the same directory. Then give .run file execute permissions and execute the file, for example:

chmod +x ~/Downloads/QuartusLiteSetup-18.1.0.625-linux.run
./Downloads/QuartusLiteSetup-18.1.0.625-linux.run

Then GUI installation process will start. Please make sure that Cyclone IV device support option is enabled. Then complete installation process.

Sometimes, it makes sense to use Quartus from terminal.

Create file quartus.sh in directory /etc/profile.d with the following content (replace {quartus_rootdir} with actual Quartus root directory):

export PATH=$PATH:{quartus_rootdir}/18.1/quartus/bin

Also, make sure it can be executed:

sudo chmod +x /etc/profile.d/quartus.sh

After reboot, Quartus can be executed like here:

quartus --64bit
