Command line problem in Quartus II

Hi,

I have a problem using command line with QUARTUS II tool (I use v10.0 sp1): no command line is recognized.

For example, when I try to launch "quartus_sh" command (in command window or in tcl console), I get the message: invalid command name "quartus_sh"

It seems that quartus commands are not recognized at all.

I have verified that these commands are really present in my installation directory, and they are.

I think that it is not a big problem to solve, but until now I did not manage to solve it.

If somebody could help me solving this problem, I would be very nice.

Many thanks in advance.

    Hi Ben,

    thank you very much for your prompt answer !

    I just try it and it works !

    Quartus was well defined in QUARTUS_ROOTDIR environment variable but not at all in PATH one. Have I missed anything during installation process ? maybe ... (I thought that this would be done automatically)

    I did the same for Modelsim (as I had the same command line problem).

    All is ok now.

    Thank you one more time ! :)

    Best Regards

    I have the same problem with <Error:invalid command name "quartus_sh"> but it is in my path (as %QUARTUS_ROOTDIR%\bin) and I tried typing in directly too. Each time I restarted Quartus. I am using 10.0sp1. 9.1sp2 does not have an issue. If I type "quartus_sh" from the DOS prompt it runs the correct exe just fine.:confused:
