Install Intel® Distribution of OpenVINO™ Toolkit for Linux Using APT Repository#
Note
Note that the APT distribution:
offers both C/C++ and Python APIs
is dedicated to Linux users only
additionally includes code samples
GCC 7.5.0 (for Ubuntu 18.04), GCC 9.3.0 (for Ubuntu 20.04) or GCC 11.3.0 (for Ubuntu 22.04)
Installing OpenVINO Runtime#
Step 1: Set Up the OpenVINO Toolkit APT Repository#
Install the GPG key for the repository
Download the GPG-PUB-KEY-INTEL-SW-PRODUCTS.PUB
You can also use the following command:
wget https://apt.repos.intel.com/intel-gpg-keys/GPG-PUB-KEY-INTEL-SW-PRODUCTS.PUB
Add this key to the system keyring:
sudo apt-key add GPG-PUB-KEY-INTEL-SW-PRODUCTS.PUB
Note
You might need to install GnuPG:
sudo apt-get install gnupg
Add the repository via the following command:
echo "deb https://apt.repos.intel.com/openvino/2024 ubuntu24 main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/intel-openvino-2024.list
echo "deb https://apt.repos.intel.com/openvino/2024 ubuntu22 main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/intel-openvino-2024.list
echo "deb https://apt.repos.intel.com/openvino/2024 ubuntu20 main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/intel-openvino-2024.list
echo "deb https://apt.repos.intel.com/openvino/2024 ubuntu18 main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/intel-openvino-2024.list
Update the list of packages via the update command:
sudo apt update
Verify that the APT repository is properly set up. Run the apt-cache command to see a list of all available OpenVINO packages and components:
apt-cache search openvino
Step 2: Install OpenVINO Runtime Using the APT Package Manager#
Install OpenVINO Runtime
Run the following command:
sudo apt install openvino
Get a list of OpenVINO packages available for installation:
sudo apt-cache search openvino
Install a specific version of an OpenVINO package:
sudo apt install openvino-<VERSION>.<UPDATE>.<PATCH>
For example:
sudo apt install openvino-2024.4.0
Note
You can use --no-install-recommends
option to install only required packages.
Keep in mind that the build tools must be installed separately if you want to compile the samples.
Check for Installed Packages and Versions
Run the following command:
apt list --installed | grep openvino
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 APT 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:
/usr/share/openvino/samples/cpp/build_samples.sh
/usr/share/openvino/samples/c/build_samples.sh
Python samples can run as following:
python3 /usr/share/openvino/samples/python/hello_query_device/hello_query_device.py
Uninstalling OpenVINO Runtime#
To uninstall OpenVINO Runtime via APT, run the following command based on your needs:
sudo apt autoremove openvino
sudo apt autoremove openvino-<VERSION>.<UPDATE>.<PATCH>
For example:
sudo apt autoremove openvino-2024.4.0
