Set up the Repository

Note

You must be logged in as root to set up and install the repository.

Configure YUM with the OpenVINO repository to install OpenVINO. You have two options for this, using the yum-config-manager or manually by creating a text file and pointing YUM to the file.

  • OPTION 1: Import the .repo file using the yum-config-manager :

    1. yum-utils must be installed on your system. If it’s not currently installed, run the command:

      sudo yum install yum-utils
    2. Add repository using the yum-config-manager :

      sudo yum-config-manager --add-repo https://yum.repos.intel.com/openvino/2021/setup/intel-openvino-2021.repo
    3. Import the gpg public key for the repository:

      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. Create the YUM repo file in the /tmp directory as a normal user:

      tee > /tmp/openvino-2021.repo << EOF
      [intel-openvino-2021]
      name=Intel(R) Distribution of OpenVINO 2021
      baseurl=https://yum.repos.intel.com/openvino/2021
      enabled=1
      gpgcheck=1
      gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-INTEL-OPENVINO-2021
      EOF
    2. Move the newly created openvino-2021.repo file to the YUM configuration directory /etc/yum.repos.d:

      sudo mv /tmp/openvino-2021.repo /etc/yum.repos.d
    3. Import the gpg public key for the repository:

      sudo rpm --import https://yum.repos.intel.com/openvino/2021/setup/RPM-GPG-KEY-INTEL-OPENVINO-2021

Verify that the new repo is properly setup

Run the following command:

yum repolist | grep -i openvino
