  • create an udev rules files in :
/etc/udev/rules.d/altera-usb-blaster.rules
  • And add following configuration :
ATTR{idVendor}=="09fb", ATTR{idProduct}=="6001", MODE="666"

Version 15.1 prime lite

Note Note: Quartus 15.1.1 with update 1 take about ~16GB once installed, but ~15 more GB are required for download/untar before installation


Version 15.1 with update (click on updates tab).

  • In Complete Download chapter, download the big archive with update 1 (7.6GB) on the download center (free Altera account needed):
Quartus-lite-15.1.1.189-linux.tar
  • Watch a good movie (min 2 hours)
  • Move the big archive in a directory with enough free space and untar it:
$ tar -xvf Quartus-lite-15.1.1.189-linux.tar
  • Take a little coffee (~3 min)
  • Launch the installation:
./setup.sh
  • follow the instructions to install it where you want
  • Take a big coffee or go to lunch (~30min)
  • Change your environment variables in your .bashrc:
export ALTERAPATH="/directory/where/you/installed/quartus/"
export ALTERAOCLSDKROOT="${ALTERAPATH}/hld"
export QUARTUS_ROOTDIR=${ALTERAPATH}/quartus
export QUARTUS_ROOTDIR_OVERRIDE="$QUARTUS_ROOTDIR"
export QSYS_ROOTDIR="${ALTERAPATH}/quartus/sopc_builder/bin"
export PATH=$PATH:${ALTERAPATH}/quartus/bin
export PATH=$PATH:${ALTERAPATH}/nios2eds/bin
Warning Warning: The altera installation script will edit your .bashrc file adding a line at the end.
export QUARTUS_ROOTDIR=...
If you add the lines above you can delete it. But if you have an esoteric language like french in some comments, the script will trash it

$ quartus

Version 19.1 prime lite

Installation process is mainly identical with this little fixes.

Apparently, the module is not installed for Intel embedded perl. To solve the problem, a solution is to use your perl installed in distribution.

But before, be sure that you have the getopt installed correctly : 

$ sudo apt install libgetopt-simple-perl

Then go to your Intel Quartus installation : 

$ cd altera/19.1/quartus/linux64/perl/bin
$ mv perl perl_old
$ ln -s /usr/bin/perl
