Description
If you are using a proxy to access the Internet, the command-line installer may fail unless you specify all of the following options for your proxy settings when installing Altera software:
--proxyhost=<PROXYHOST>--username=<USERNAME>--password=<PASSWORD>
PROXYHOST should be in the format of <HOST>:<PORT>. Additionally, you must specify one of the following options depending on which type of proxy you have:
--proxy-basic--proxy-ntlm--proxy-digest
For a complete list of options, please refer to Quartus® II Help. You can also include the --help option in the command prompt for a description of supported options.
Resolution
This problem is fixed beginning with the Quartus II software version 12.0.
