Hi! I tried to install Quartus with altera_installer for Linux. I started altera_installer.external.sh with command sh ./altera_installer.external.sh from download folder.

Creating directory bin

Verifying archive integrity... All good.

Uncompressing Altera Installer.......................................................................................................................................

    I'm using Quartus II 11.0 SP1 on Ubuntu 11.10 amd64. My take is that Altera only tested v11 only on Red Hat. I've gotten everything I need to work, but it required a bit of messing around.

    I don't remember exactly all the things I did, but I do remember that (1) the installer assumes bash, but doesn't indicate it explicitly on the shebang, (2) there was something about the linux64 and linux directories - Altera Web edition doesn't support 64 Bit, but the apps still try to reference the 64 bit libraries, and (3) I had to use a script to set up the environment properly (PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH), especially for Nios II EDS.

    sudo sh altera_installer.external.sh ?

    And the shell environment seemed important also. I had to use Gnome shell. I followed a guide online for Ubuntu 12.04LTS, QII 12.1sp1 B213 and Modelsim ASE: Google "chehsunliu quartus"

    I'm also on AMD64.
