If you just want to run quartus and modelsim you can add this to your .bash_profile (or I think that would be .bashrc on Ubuntu since they seem to do everything from the .bashrc file): 

qhome=/path/where/you/installed/quartus
PATH=$qhome/quartus/bin:$PATH
PATH=$qhome/modelsim_ase/bin:$PATH
export PATH
QUARTUS_64BIT=1
export QUARTUS_64BIT

Assuming you have installed and want to use the 64-bit version as well. You must source the .bash_profile/.bashrc file or start a new shell for it to take effect.

Thanks very much for reply. It works.

So for:

QUARTUS_64BIT=1

export QUARTUS_64BIT

It sets I want to use 64 bit instead of 32 bit. How do you know this variable (QUARTUS_64BIT) ? Where should I check it?

Thanks in advance.
