export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/altera/18.1/modelsim_ase/lib32
and in that file.
Create a version switcher for the PATH variable
You can set the PATH variable as in the 13.0sp1 installation in .profile. If you install two versions, then you can append the following to .bashrc
alias v13="ln -rsvfT /opt/altera/13.0sp1 /opt/altera/version" alias v18="ln -rsvfT /opt/altera/18.1 /opt/altera/version"
You need to open a new bash to make the changes active. Then you can switch between the versions by running v18 or v13.
