The TalkBack feature in the Quartus II software allows Altera to receive
limited design compilation information, not including design logic, which
helps Altera to understand how customers use the Quartus II software and
devices, so that Altera can focus on improving features most important to
users.
You can also perform installations on multiple systems at the command line
using the same set of installation files that you download once, and then use
to install software on multiple systems. This method reduces overall
download time when installing software on more than one computer.
Individual Software
You can choose to download and install the following software individually
from the Download Center:
■ Quartus II Subscription Edition software (includes IP Library)
■ Quartus II Web Edition software (includes IP Library)
■ Nios II Embedded Design Suite
■ ModelSim-Altera Starter Edition software
■ ModelSim-Altera Edition software
■ Stand-Alone Quartus II Programmer
Each software package is individually downloaded and installed with the
Altera Installer, which automatically starts once you begin the installation
process. The Altera Installer allows you to specify installation options, as
described in “Altera Installer” on page 7, and guides you through the
installation process. Individual software is available for Windows and Linux
systems.
