+==== Install ====
+Check that you have
+  * [[http://www.hs-augsburg.de/homes/beckmanf/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=ubuntu_virtual_cae_system#missing_libpng12|Installed the missing libpng12]]
+Make sure that you install the software at "/opt/altera/18.1". When you run the installation, you can deselect all FPGA device families, except Cyclone V.
+<code>
+tar -xvf Quartus-lite-18.1.0.625-linux.tar
+./setup.sh
+</code>
+Check that you have
+  * [[http://www.hs-augsburg.de/homes/beckmanf/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=ubuntu_virtual_cae_system#fix_the_libfreetype_problem|Compiled the libfreetype library]]
+and copy the library to the 18.1 directory
+<code>
+mkdir /opt/altera/18.1/modelsim_ase/lib32
+cp ~/cae/freetype-2.8.1/objs/.libs/libfreetype.so* /opt/altera/18.1/modelsim_ase/lib32/
+</code>
+Change /opt/altera/18.1/modelsim_ase/vco  file and find the location:
+<code>
+dir=`dirname "$arg0"`
+</code>
+After that line add
+<code>
+export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/altera/18.1/modelsim_ase/lib32
+</code>
+and [[http://www.hs-augsburg.de/homes/beckmanf/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=ubuntu_virtual_cae_system#fix_linux_rh60_vco_script_problem|Fix linux rh60 problem]] in that file.
+==== Create a version switcher for the PATH variable ====
+You can set the PATH variable as in the 13.0sp1 installation in .profile. If you install two versions, then you can append the following to .bashrc
+<code>
+alias v13="ln -rsvfT /opt/altera/13.0sp1 /opt/altera/version"
+alias v18="ln -rsvfT /opt/altera/18.1 /opt/altera/version"
+</code>
+You need to open a new bash to make the changes active. Then you can switch between the versions by running v18 or v13.
