System Requirements#

Note

Certain hardware, including but not limited to GPU and NPU, requires manual installation of specific drivers and/or other software components to work correctly and/or to utilize hardware capabilities at their best. This might require updates to the operating system, including but not limited to Linux kernel, please refer to their documentation for details. These modifications should be handled by user and are not part of OpenVINO installation.

  • The use of GPU requires drivers that are not included in the Intel® Distribution of OpenVINO™ toolkit package.

  • Processor graphics are not included in all processors. See Product Specifications for information about your processor.

  • While this release of OpenVINO supports Ubuntu 20.04, the driver stack for Intel discrete graphic cards does not fully support Ubuntu 20.04. We recommend using Ubuntu 22.04 and later when executing on discrete graphics.

  • OpenCL™ driver versions required may vary, depending on hardware and operating Systems used. Consult driver documentation to select the best version for your setup.

Intel® Neural Processing Unit#

  • Ubuntu 24.04 long-term support (LTS), 64-bit (preview support)

  • Ubuntu 22.04 long-term support (LTS), 64-bit

  • Windows 11, 64-bit (22H2 and later)

  • These Accelerators require drivers that are not included in the Intel® Distribution of OpenVINO™ toolkit package.

  • Users can access the NPU plugin through the OpenVINO archives on the download page.

Operating systems and developer environment#

  • Ubuntu 24.04 with Linux kernel 6.8+

  • Ubuntu 22.04 with Linux kernel 5.15+

  • Ubuntu 20.04 with Linux kernel 5.15+

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.3-9.4 with Linux kernel 5.4

Build environment components:

Higher versions of kernel might be required for 10th Gen Intel® Core™ Processors and above, Intel® Core™ Ultra Processors, 4th Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors and above to support CPU, GPU, NPU or hybrid-cores CPU capabilities.

OpenVINO Runtime requires certain C++ libraries to operate. To execute ready-made apps, the libraries distributed by Visual Studio redistributable package are suggested. For development and compilation of OpenVINO-integrated apps, the build environment components are required instead.

Build environment components:

  • macOS 12.6 and above

Build environment components:

  • TensorFlow 1.15.5 - 2.17

  • PyTorch 2.4

  • ONNX 1.16

  • PaddlePaddle 2.6

  • JAX 0.4.31 (via a path of jax2tf with native_serialization=False)

This package can be installed on other versions of DL Frameworks but only the versions specified here are fully validated.

Note

OpenVINO Python binaries are built with and redistribute oneTBB libraries.

OpenVINO Distributions#

Different OpenVINO distributions may support slightly different sets of features. Read installation guides for particular distributions for more details. Refer to the OpenVINO Release Policy to learn more about the release types.

  • CMake 3.13 or higher, 64-bit

Note

To install Microsoft Visual Studio, follow the Microsoft Visual Studio installation guide. You can choose to download the Community version. During installation in the Workloads tab, choose Desktop development with C++.

Note

You can either use cmake<version>.msi which is the installation wizard or cmake<version>.zip where you have to go into the bin folder and then manually add the path to environmental variables.

Important

When installing Python, make sure you click the option Add Python 3.x to PATH to add Python to your PATH environment variable.
