-In order to be able to start the binaries from the commandline, the path for the binaries has to be in the PATH environment variable. For that you have to modify the .profile file in your home directory. Append the following snippet to the .profile file:+and copy the library to the 18.1 directory
  
-.profile +<code> 
- +mkdir /opt/altera/18.1/modelsim_ase/lib32

 </code> </code>
  
-To see the changes in the PATH variable, you have to logout and login again. After that you can already start modelsim and quartus (see below). To check the setting of the PATH variable do:+Change /opt/altera/18.1/modelsim_ase/vco  file and find the location:

-The following check shows that libpng16 is installed but quartus needs libpng12. +and [[http://www.hs-augsburg.de/homes/beckmanf/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=ubuntu_virtual_cae_system#fix_linux_rh60_vco_script_problem|Fix linux rh60 problem]] in that file.

-then, you have to fix the vco script. First change the permissions such that you can modify the script.+You need to open a new bash to make the changes active. Then you can switch between the versions by running v18 or v13.
