11 years agoYou set it in your environment if you want to run the 64-bit version. By setting it in your .bashrc (or .bash_profile on most other Linux systems) it will be set each time you start a new login shell, e.g. when you log in. You can also set it on the command line by typing "quartus --64bit"
It's documented here (and probably other places as well): http://quartushelp.altera.com/13.1/mergedprojects/global/install/install_pro_64bit.htm
