Quartus II on linux display problem

[Altera_Forum]

hi! 

i have been trying to install quartus and got some problems. at first, i could not install it because of '&' syntax error. then i tried sudo bash ./setup command and got over it. but then nothing showed up except 'If nothing shows up, or you don't have an X display' warning.   By the way, i looked up the forum but could not see the messages because of forbidden server..  any ideas? Thank you.

what distribution, Quartus II version, etc. a paste of your command history would be useful too

If you're running this on some version of Ubuntu, the problem lies in that on Debian-based distributions, /bin/sh is a symlink to /bin/dash, which has a slightly different syntax than bash, which is what the installer scripts were written for. To work around this, do the following in a tty window: 

 sudo rm /bin/sh sudo ln -s /bin/bash /bin/sh  <perform the installation>  and then, optionally:  sudo rm /bin/sh sudo ln -s /bin/dash /bin/sh  Best regards,   Ben
