Installing OpenVINO Runtime

Step 1: Set Up the OpenVINO Toolkit APT Repository

  1. Install the GPG key for the repository

    1. Download the GPG-PUB-KEY-INTEL-SW-PRODUCTS.PUB.

    You can also use the following command:
```sh
wget https://apt.repos.intel.com/intel-gpg-keys/GPG-PUB-KEY-INTEL-SW-PRODUCTS.PUB
```

    1. Add this key to the system keyring: `sh sudo apt-key add GPG-PUB-KEY-INTEL-SW-PRODUCTS.PUB `

Note

You might need to install GnuPG: sudo apt-get install gnupg

  1. Add the repository via the following command:

    echo "deb https://apt.repos.intel.com/openvino/2022 bionic main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/intel-openvino-2022.list

    echo "deb https://apt.repos.intel.com/openvino/2022 focal main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/intel-openvino-2022.list

  2. Update the list of packages via the update command:

    sudo apt update

  3. 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

  1. Get a list of OpenVINO packages available for installation:

    sudo apt-cache search openvino

  2. Install a specific version of an OpenVINO package:

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

    For example:

    sudo apt install openvino-2022.3.0

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

Uninstall OpenVINO Runtime

Run the following command:

sudo apt autoremove openvino

Run the following command:

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

For example:

sudo apt autoremove openvino-2022.3.0

Step 3 (Optional): Install Software Dependencies

After you have installed OpenVINO Runtime, if you decided to install OpenVINO Model Development Tools, make sure that you install external software dependencies first.

Refer to Install External Software Dependencies for detailed steps.

Step 4 (Optional): Configure Inference on Non-CPU Devices

To enable the toolkit components to use processor graphics (GPU) on your system, follow the steps in GPU Setup Guide.

Step 5: Build Samples

To build the C++ or C sample applications for Linux, run the build_samples.sh script:

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

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

For more information, refer to Build the Sample Applications on Linux.
