Installing

Quartus II 13.0sp1

Ubuntu 20.04

The installer won't launch unless you install 32-bit libc:

sudo apt-get install libc6-i386

Once installed, the application won't launch without libpng12, and libpng16 is what ships with Ubuntu. Luckily there is a PPA:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:linuxuprising/libpng12
sudo apt update
sudo apt install libpng12-0

For Quartus to be able to access the USB Blaster with proper permissions, udev rules need to be set up:

echo 'ATTR{idVendor}=="09fb", ATTR{idProduct}=="6001", MODE="666"' | sudo tee /etc/udev/rules.d/altera-usb-blaster.rules
