      sudo rpm --import https://yum.repos.intel.com/openvino/2021/setup/RPM-GPG-KEY-INTEL-OPENVINO-2021
  • OPTION 2: Create the repository file manually:
    1. Navigate to the repository directory:
      cd /etc/yum.repos.d
    2. Edit the repo file:
      vi intel-openvino-2021.repo
    3. Append the following code:
      [intel-openvino-2021]
      name=Intel(R) Distribution of OpenVINO 2021
      baseurl=https://yum.repos.intel.com/openvino/2021
