Super ContributorWe’re sorry to inform you that Quartus has never officially supported the Linux Mint operating system. As outlined in the release notes for Quartus II 13.0 and the latest supported OS list for Quartus Prime 24.1, only specific distributions such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux and SUSE Linux Enterprise are validated and supported.
For Quartus II 13.0, Release Notes For ModelSim Altera 10.1d
Key Information
* The following lists the supported platforms:
+ win32aloem - Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7

solaris has discontinued.)

+ HPUX Platform - hp700aloem
You can refer to the official OS support list here for Quartus Prime 24.1:
Because Linux Mint is not among the supported platforms, installing Questa or ModelSim on it may lead to unexpected behavior or compatibility issues. To ensure a stable and fully supported development environment, we strongly recommend switching to one of the officially supported Linux distributions.
New ContributorHi Kenny Tan,
Given that Linux Mint is based on Ubuntu Linux, which is one of the largest Linux distros out there, I find that kind of lame.
Nevertheless, if you can tell me where the precompiled libraries are located relative to the install path, that would be helpful. Perhaps this failure can be fixed by adding paths to the environment variable set for quartus.
