How can I run a free version of the Quartus II Web Edition software on the Linux operating system?
Altera does not recommend the following approach, but some professors have used the described method to run the Quartus II Web Edition (Windows version) on the Linux operating system. You can run the Windows-based version of the Quartus II Web Edition software on Linux by using Wine. There is another program named WineTools that can aid in the configuration phase. After the installation of both programs, you should be able to install and use the Windows-based version of the Quartus II Web Edition software. There is no freely available version of the Quartus II Web Edition software available for the Linux platform because of royalty fees.
