Installing Quartus
To install Quartus, you will need either Windows or Linux. Then, complete the following steps:
- Download Quartus from here (this is the link for Windows, if you are using Linux change the operating system)
- You should click "combined files" and download the Quartus-lite-20.1.1.720-windows.tar single file (5.9 GB)
- While Quartus is downloading, download and install 7-zip (for Windows users, choose 64-bit x64)
- Once Quartus is downloaded, right click on the .tar file and use 7-zip to extract the .tar file to a directory with the same name as the original file
- Double click the setup.exe (Windows) file to start the installation (the installation may take a while)
- At the end of the installation, it may prompt you to install additional USB drivers. You can uncheck this box, and then launch Quartus.
