Hello,


As per user 'Sstrell' stated in the previous comment. It is can be accepted as the answer. Quartus runs on a PC, not the FPGA. It generates a programming file (.sof by default) that is sent to the FPGA via USB Blaster to the device's JTAG port to program the device.


Hope that helps.


Best regards,
