Install OpenVINO™ Runtime on Linux From YUM Repository#

Note

Note that the YUM distribution:

  • offers both C/C++ and Python APIs

  • does not offer support for NPU inference

  • is dedicated to Linux users only

  • additionally includes code samples

Before installing OpenVINO, see the System Requirements page.

Install OpenVINO Runtime#

Step 1: Set Up the Repository#

  1. Create a YUM repository file (openvino-2024.repo) in the /tmp directory as a normal user:

    tee > /tmp/openvino-2024.repo << EOF
[OpenVINO]
name=Intel(R) Distribution of OpenVINO 2024
baseurl=https://yum.repos.intel.com/openvino/2024
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
repo_gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://yum.repos.intel.com/intel-gpg-keys/GPG-PUB-KEY-INTEL-SW-PRODUCTS.PUB
EOF

  2. Move the new openvino-2024.repo file to the YUM configuration directory, i.e. /etc/yum.repos.d:

    sudo mv /tmp/openvino-2024.repo /etc/yum.repos.d

  3. Verify that the new repository is set up properly.

    yum repolist | grep -i openvino

    You will see the available list of packages.

To list available OpenVINO packages, use the following command:

yum list 'openvino*'

Step 2: Install OpenVINO Runtime Using the YUM Package Manager#

Install OpenVINO Runtime#

Run the following command:

sudo yum install openvino

Run the following command:

sudo yum install openvino-<VERSION>.<UPDATE>.<PATCH>

For example:

sudo yum install openvino-2024.4.0

Check for Installed Packages and Version#

Run the following command:

yum list installed '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 YUM 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

Uninstalling OpenVINO Runtime#

To uninstall OpenVINO Runtime via YUM, run the following command based on your needs:

sudo yum autoremove openvino

sudo yum autoremove openvino-<VERSION>.<UPDATE>.<PATCH>

For example:

sudo yum autoremove openvino-2024.4.0
