To install Intel Quartus Prime in Mac OS

[Renyl]

I am unable to install Intel Quartus Prime lite 17.1 version on my Mac System, since there are only two options given in the website one Windows Os and Linux OS.

Kindly guide em on the installation process of the software in my Mac System.

There is no MacOS 'native' version of Quartus. They are Windows or Linux on X86 only.

To run on a Mac platform, you need to install the 3rd party Parallels software (see:   https://www.parallels.com/   )

which will allow you to install Windows (or Linux) as a VM on your Mac system, and then you can install the Quartus software.

I don't believe the USB programmer dongle will work, you may need a real Windows platform to program physical devices.

I saw that you have post the same question here:

I will not comment much as I have provided the answer in other post.

Btw, I recommend that you download and install the latest version of Quartus lite which is 22.1 instead of 17.1, which is a 5 years gap between both version.

A lot of bugs have been fixed since then.
