If it's the lab I think it is, the instructions tell you what you need to do:
Important note: If you are running this lab after class on your own computer in a Linux* OS (the VLP and Intel FPGA training computers all run Windows* OS), you need to modify a file for the state machine to allow it to operate correctly. The state machine uses a Perl script to automatically create HDL code based on an IP parameter, and Perl needs to be called differently in Linux OS versus Windows OS. In the Intel Quartus Prime software or in a text editor, open the file:
<lab install directory>/Lab/ip/avalon_state_machine_host/avalon_state_machine_host_hw.tcl
Near the very end of the file, change….
# Call perl to execute perl script to generate HDL
global perl
exec $perl/perl.exe ...
to simply….
# Call perl to execute perl script to generate HDL
perl ... # If this doesn’t work, use “exec perl ...”
