What extra libraries do I need to install to use the Intel® Quartus® Prime software and related tools on Linux?

Description

You may need to install a number of extra Linux packages and libraries to use the Intel® Quartus® Prime software and related tools depending on the version of the tool you need to use,  the Linux distribution & version in use, and what options were used when the Operating System was installed.

The  Intel FPGA Software Installation and Licensing Manual (PDF) contains more information on installing and licensing the software, and required packages. 

Resolution

Attached here is an example script (.bash) for RedHat Enterprise  / Centos  distributions version 5 - 7 which installs commonly required 32 and 64 bit libraries using yum.

This script could be adapted for use on other distribution by swapping yum based commands for apt-get.

Note:

• Please read the script prior to running
• This script should be run as root or sudo
• Uncomment line 6 if required:   This adds "multilib_policy=all" to the yum.conf file to allow 32 64bit library installation which is required.
