To use the Quartus^® II software with the Synopsys^® FPGA Express software, you must first install the Quartus II software, then establish an environment that facilitates entering and processing designs. To set up the FPGA Compiler II software working environment:

1. Make sure you have installed the following versions of the Quartus II software and the FPGA Express software:

Synopsys	Altera®
FPGA Express version 3.7	Quartus II version 2.2




This version of the FPGA Express software supports all Altera devices supported by the Quartus II software.

The Quartus II Software Release Notes are available on the Altera web site and provide up-to-date information on which versions of Synopsys applications are supported by the current version of the Quartus II software. The Quartus II readme.txt file provides information on installation and operating requirements. You should read the Release Notes and readme.txt file before installing the Quartus II software. After installation, you can open the Release Notes and readme.txt file from the Quartus II Help menu.

Go to the FPGA Express release notes for information on installing the FPGA Express software and for descriptions of the latest changes to the software. These notes are available in the readme.htm file on the FPGA Express installation CD-ROM.

2. To continue with the FPGA Express design flow, proceed to 2. Create a Design for Use with the FPGA Express Software.
