added more detailed installation instructions
<pre>sudo apt-get install libc6-i386</pre>
<pre>sudo apt-get install libc6-i386</pre>
You can then download and run the installer:
<pre>cd ~/Downloads
wget -c https://download.altera.com/akdlm/software/acdsinst/13.0sp1/232/ib_tar/Quartus-web-13.0.1.232-linux.tar
mkdir quartus_inst
cd quartus_inst
tar xf ~/Downloads/Quartus-web-13.0.1.232-linux.tar
./setup.sh</pre>
It will ask you questions about what it should install. You'll definitely want to install the 64-bit edition, the appropriate device pack, and probably ModelSim (both editions to be safe). Here is an example of choosing everything:
<pre>Select the components you want to install

Later it will ask you a few post-installation things:
<pre>Create shortcuts on Desktop [Y/n]: y

Provide your feedback at http://software.altera.com/feedback/13.0sp1/installer [Y/n]: n</pre>
Once installed, the application won't launch without libpng12, and libpng16 is what ships with Ubuntu. Luckily there is a PPA:
Once installed, the application won't launch without libpng12, and libpng16 is what ships with Ubuntu. Luckily there is a PPA:
sudo apt update
sudo apt update
sudo apt install libpng12-0</pre>
sudo apt install libpng12-0</pre>
You will also want to launch Quartus using the <code>--64bit</code> command line option. If you install the 64-bit edition and choose to create a desktop launcher (shortcut), it will both pass that option and set the working directory to the folder containing the <code>quartus</code> script. To run it manually from the command, replicate the same conditions:
<pre>cd ~/altera/13.0sp1/quartus/bin
./quartus --64bit</pre>
