To install the Intel® HLS Compiler Standard Edition on Linux Systems:

1. Confirm that your operating system version is supported by the Intel® HLS Compiler Standard Edition:
   • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.x, or a community equivalent
2. Download an installation package from the Quartus Prime download page at the Download Center for FPGAs:

   http://fpgasoftware.intel.com/?edition=standard

   On the download page, you have the following options:

   • Download a complete installation package from the Combined Files tab.
   • Download a Quartus Prime installation package from the Individual Files tab and download the Intel® HLS Compiler installation package from the Additional Software tab. Place both installation packages in the same directory.

   For detailed instructions about installing Intel® Quartus® Prime software, including system requirements, prerequisites, and licensing requirements, refer to Intel® FPGA Software Installation and Licensing

   The Intel® HLS Compiler standalone installation package requires you to have an existing Intel® Quartus® Prime Standard Edition installation as a target for the Intel® HLS Compiler installation.

3. Install the complete Intel® Quartus® Prime Standard Edition installation package as follows:
   • If you are installing the complete Intel® Quartus® Prime installation package (from the Combined Files tab of the Quartus Prime download page at the Download Center for FPGAs):

     No additional steps are needed before running the installation package.

   • If you are installing separately downloaded Intel® Quartus® Prime (from Individual Files tab of the Quartus Prime download page at the Download Center for FPGAs) and Intel® HLS Compiler (from Additional Software tab of the Quartus Prime download page at the Download Center for FPGAs) installation packages:

     Ensure that you have both installation packages in the same directory. The Intel® Quartus® Prime installer detects the Intel® HLS Compiler installation package and installs both software packages for you.

4. Update your Linux repositories with the following command:

   sudo yum update

5. Install GCC 4.4.7 with the following command:

   $ sudo yum groupinstall "Development Tools"

6. If you want the Intel® HLS Compiler to simulate your components with the 32-bit Mentor Graphics* ModelSim* software provided with Intel® Quartus® Prime ( ModelSim* - Intel® FPGA Edition), install the required additional 32-bit libraries with the following command:

   $ sudo yum install -y glibc.i686 glibc-devel.i686 libX11.i686 \
                   libXext.i686 libXft.i686 libgcc.i686 libgcc.x86_64 \
                   libstdc++.i686 libstdc++-devel.i686 ncurses-devel.i686 \
                   qt.i686 qt-x11.i686

7. If you use the Mentor Graphics* ModelSim* software provided with Intel® Quartus® Prime, add the path to ModelSim* to your PATH environment variable
   For example:

   $ export PATH=$PATH:<quartus_installdir>/modelsim_ase/bin

8. Optional: If you plan to use Platform Designer to integrate your component with a system, add the path to Platform Designer to your PATH environment variable.
   For example:

   $ export PATH=$PATH:<quartus_installdir>/qsys/bin
