    Unfortunately the only way is to run it in a Windows install under vmWare or parallels. I certainly wish there was a native OSX version.

    Ok, Thanks

    But, I already use bootcamp, but I think it's possible to install Quartus II for Linux on X11 on OSX.

    Very nice information here. Moreover as I see, this question is very actual for many people indeed. Personally I totally agree with author opinion about this subject and I think that it would be really interesting to create such discussion with other this website visitors. Anyway thanks a lot one more time for the great and informative publication. And I will definitely be waiting for more such nice entries like this one from you.

    No, not the only way.

    I run Quartus in Ubuntu Linux inside VirtualBox on my Mac, and I use USB Blaster JTAG adapter to my hardware.
