Overview
Intel Quartus Prime, formerly Altera Quartus II, is an FPGA IDE for Intel/Altera's FPGAs and CPLDs. Different version ranges of the software support various generations of their products.

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
Taken from:
http://www.armadeus.org/wiki/index.php?title=Quartus_installation_on_Linux#USB-Blaster
Debian 10 (buster)
The steps requires as the same as for Ubuntu 20.04, with the exception of being unable to use the Ubuntu PPA for libpng12. Debian 8 (jessie) was the last version to have libpng12. The libpng12-0_1.2.50-2+deb8u3_amd64.deb package can be unpacked, and then the appropriate .so files moved into Quartus's installation directory.
