Problem to executte nios2IDE on Ubuntu

I have installed on my PC Ubuntu to start to work with uClinux. I have installed Quartus suite 9.1 for Ubuntu. Now i am tring to use the example TryOutuClinux of Nios Community.

What i need to do to use the command nios2 from my Linux's terminal? I am already installed the suite but nios2 is not a valid command from my terminal. Sorry for the stupid question but i am a new Linux'user

Thanks in advantage

    You can run nios2ide on Ubuntu after installing uartus for Linux, but nios2IDE is of no use when developing Linux applications for NIOS.

    Read NIOSWIKI to learn how to get started with Linux for NIOS.

    Yes in the suite i have not installed Nios2IDE but NIOS2EDS (sorry but usually use this program in Windows when it is called NIOSIDE), my question is after installation what i need to do before can use the command nios2 from my terminal?

    Questions regarding the Altera IDE are better posed in another forum, as this is not related to running Linux on NIOS.

    I do

    /opt/altera9.0/nios2eds/sdk_shell

    after that I can do

    nios2-ide
