Install OpenVINO Runtime¶

Step 1: Set Up the Repository¶

Create a ZYPPER repository file with the command below:

sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/science/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/science.repo
sudo zypper refresh

Verify that the new repository is set up properly.
```
zypper lr |grep -i science
```
You will see the available list of packages.

To list available OpenVINO packages, use the following command:

zypper se openvino

Step 2: Install OpenVINO Runtime Using the ZYPPER Package Manager¶

Install OpenVINO Runtime¶

Run the following command:

sudo zypper install openvino-devel openvino-sample

Check for Installed Packages and Version¶

Run the following command:

zypper se -i openvino

Note

You can additionally install Python API using one of the alternative methods (conda or pip).

Congratulations! You’ve just Installed OpenVINO! For some use cases you may still need to install additional components. Check the list of additional configurations to see if your case needs any of them.

With the ZYPPER distribution, you can build OpenVINO sample files, as explained in the guide for OpenVINO sample applications. For C++ and C, just run the build_samples.sh script:

C++

/usr/share/openvino/samples/cpp/build_samples.sh

/usr/share/openvino/samples/c/build_samples.sh
