Occasional ContributorWe are facing an issue while launching Quartus GUI using the command quartus_sh -g. The system is showing an error related to the Tk library, stating it is unable to load, despite it already being installed. We have verified that the library is present on the system.
Request you to kindly look into this and guide us on how to resolve the issue.
Occasional ContributorOccasional ContributorStill we are waiting
Super ContributorWhat is your intention in running quartus_sh -g?
The option -g does not appear to be a valid or supported flag for the quartus_sh command. If you're trying to launch the Quartus GUI, you might be thinking of:
quartus &
The quartus_sh command is typically used like this:
quartus_sh -t <script.tcl>
This runs a Tcl script that automates tasks such as project creation, compilation, or report generation.
You may checkout this user guide on how to run the quartus_sh executable.

Occasional ContributorHi Team,
What is your purpose in running quartus_sh -g?
I want to run Quartus in GUI mode. Currently, we are compiling with Quartus in command line mode. The -g argument is supposed to launch the Quartus terminal in GUI mode.
However, the option -g does not appear to be a valid or supported flag for the quartus_sh command. If you're trying to launch the Quartus GUI, you might be thinking of:
quartus &
- The -g argument is valid, and even `quartus help gui` shows -g as one of the valid options.
- The `quartus &` command launches the Quartus GUI in project mode, which is not useful for my purposes.
Occasional ContributorSuper ContributorThank you for the clarification. It seems that -g is indeed a valid option.
Which operating system are you using? I’ve tested it on both Windows 11 and Linux, and it works fine on both.
You might want to try reinstalling Quartus to see if the issue still occurs.
Regards,
Richard
Occasional ContributorWe are currently using RHEL 8.1 and have installed two versions of Quartus: 25.1 and 24.1. However, we are facing the same issue with both versions.
Kindly suggest a suitable solution or workaround to resolve this issue.
Super ContributorQuartus 24.1 and 25.1 are not supported on RHEL 8.1.
Please try using a supported operating system in a virtual machine and see if the issue is resolved.

Richard Tan
Occasional ContributorWe are currently using RHEL 8.10
Super ContributorI don't find any Quartus version that is supported in RHEL 8.1. The closest version is Quartus 21.2 with RHEL 8.2.
Do note that you may try to install Quartus or other Altera software on the non-supported OS but you will have to bear your own risk and there will be no technical support as well.
Thank you for your understanding.
Regards,
Richard Tan
