Followed the below mentioned steps:

  1. Using tar -xvf command extracted the downloaded file "80_quartus_linux.tar"
  2. Under quartus/linux/, tried executing ./install

Encountered with error as below:

Terminal:

[root@redhat linux]# ./install

You do not have enough disk space to install the requested items.

There are only 377035884 kbytes in /opt/altera8.0/quartus.

Would you like to restart the installation? (y/n):

Even though my server is having 374 GB free space and

/opt/software/quartus/linux/tools/linux/compare: Command not found.

The tools which came along with the Quartus package under /quartus/linux/tools/linux are not compatible I believe.

P.S: Used bash prompt

Can someone support on this installation please

    May I ask why you're trying to install a 10 year old version of Quartus? I'm not up on my Quartus Linux compatibility, but maybe that old version is not compatible.

    We've a legacy code generated using Quartus II 8.0 for stratix II gx device. We tried installing the last release (13.1sp and 13.0) which supports stratix device, which got exited while trying to execute setup.sh.

    Red hat Linux server Version used: 6.10

    Does this server needs any prerequisite or environmental setup to install Quartus II version which supports stratix II gx???
