Note

Note that the Homebrew distribution:

  • offers both C/C++ and Python APIs

  • does not offer support for NPU inference

  • is dedicated to macOS (both arm64 and x86_64) and Linux (x86_64 only) users.

Before installing OpenVINO, see the System Requirements page.

Note

This community-maintained distribution channel is provided to help users explore and evaluate OpenVINO.

Please note that accuracy, performance, and behavior may differ from officially supported OpenVINO distributions, and are not guaranteed by the OpenVINO team in this channel. Due to the community-driven nature of this distribution channel, the OpenVINO team does not guarantee timely updates aligned with official releases, nor update availability for all OpenVINO versions.

For production deployments and product integration, we recommend using officially supported distribution channels (for example, official S3 archives or PyPI packages), which provide validated builds and defined guarantees.
