The correct way to install QUARTUS on UBUNUT 24.04 LTS?

Greetings QUARTUS experts,

I have been trying (and failing!) to install QUARTUS Prime Pro on my UBUNUT 24.04 LTS LINUX machine. The QUARTUS documentation says that UBUNTU 24.04 LTS is a supported OS, so all should work fine ! Or Not !

After i have downloaded the installer, added the correct execute permissions,  i run it and it appears to install everything. But the first problem i noticed is that it only takes a few seconds to run and then stops saying everything is installed. In comparison on my Windows 10 machine the installation process takes a couple of hours !

The next problem on Linux is that no QUARTUS Icons have been created in the UBUNTU applications area. And then when i try to run QUARTUS from the command line i just get a message saying of course it doesn't know where the heck Quartus is :) As expected really....

My question is then: What are the exact steps i need to take to get Quartus PRIME PRO to install correctly on my LINUX machine ? I do the usual steps before running the installer:

$ sudo update & sudo upgrade etc....

Thanks for your help,

Dr Barry H

    Troubleshooting Steps that you may check (if applicable):

    1. System Requirements
    Before downloading and installing the software, please ensure that your system meets the minimum hardware and software requirements. Also, verify that your operating system is supported:
    2. Determining System Requirements
    2.3.1. Operating System Requirements

    2. Disk Space
    Confirm that your system has sufficient disk space for installing the Altera FPGA software.

    3. Antivirus Software
    If you are running antivirus software, try temporarily disabling it during the Quartus Prime software download and installation process.

    4. Administrator Privileges
    Install the software using Administrator privileges.

    5. .tar Installation Package
    If you're installing using a .tar file, try re-downloading the Quartus installation package and reinstalling.
    Make sure the .tar file is not corrupted by verifying its checksum.

    6. Quartus Installer
    Try using the new Quartus installer for automatic download and installation.

    7. Operating System Updates
    Review your OS update history to check if the issue started occurring after a specific Windows update.

      Hi sstrell, yes i am. But it seems to fail as i described. The run command works and seems to perform the installation, but it doesn't work, and it is to fast, a few seconds, which is a sign that its failed i guess. There does not appear to be any quertus exe file either that i can find !
