Build OpenVINO™ Runtime for Linux systems

The software was validated on:

  • Ubuntu 18.04 (64-bit) with default GCC 7.5.0
  • Ubuntu 20.04 (64-bit) with default GCC 9.3.0
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.2 (64-bit) with default GCC 8.5.0

NOTE: To build on CentOS 7 (64-bit), refer to Building OpenVINO on CentOS 7 Guide

Software requirements

  • CMake 3.13 or higher

  • GCC 7.5 or higher to build OpenVINO Runtime

  • Python 3.8 - 3.11 for OpenVINO Runtime Python API

  • (Optional) Install Intel® Graphics Compute Runtime for OpenCL™ Driver package to enable inference on Intel integrated GPUs. Select a driver package from the table below depending on what version of Ubuntu you are installing on.

    Ubuntu Driver package
    22.04 23.13.26032.30
    20.04 22.24.23453
    18.04 21.38.21026

How to build

  1. Clone OpenVINO repository and init submodules:

    git clone https://github.com/openvinotoolkit/openvino.git
cd openvino
git submodule update --init --recursive

    (Optional) For users in China, clone submodules via gitee mirrors

    chmod +x scripts/submodule_update_with_gitee.sh
./scripts/submodule_update_with_gitee.sh

  2. Install build dependencies using the install_build_dependencies.sh script in the project root folder.

    chmod +x install_build_dependencies.sh
    sudo ./install_build_dependencies.sh

  3. Create a build folder:

      mkdir build && cd build

  4. OpenVINO Runtime uses a CMake-based build system. In the created build directory, run cmake to fetch project dependencies and create Unix makefiles, then run make to build the project:

      cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
  cmake --build . --parallel

The process may take some time to finish.

Additional Build Options

You can use the following additional build options:

  • For IA32 operation systems, use ia32.linux.toolchain.cmake CMake toolchain file:

    cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=<openvino_repo>/cmake/toolchains/ia32.linux.toolchain.cmake ..

  • OpenVINO offers several CMake options that can be used to build a custom OpenVINO runtime, which can speed up compilation. These options allow you to skip compilation of other plugins and frontends by disabling/enabling them. You can find a list of available options here

  • To build the OpenVINO Runtime Python API:

    1. Enable the -DENABLE_PYTHON=ON option in the CMake step above (Step 4). To specify an exact Python version, use the following options (requires cmake 3.16 and higher): 
      -DPython3_EXECUTABLE=/usr/bin/python3.8
    2. To build a wheel package (.whl), enable the -DENABLE_WHEEL=ON option in the CMake step above (Step 4), and install requirements: 
      pip install -r <openvino source tree>/src/bindings/python/wheel/requirements-dev.txt
    3. After the build process finishes, export the newly built Python libraries to the user environment variables: 
      export PYTHONPATH=<openvino_repo>/bin/intel64/Release/python:$PYTHONPATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<openvino_repo>/bin/intel64/Release:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
      or install the wheel with pip: 
      pip install <openvino_repo>/build/wheel/openvino-2022.2.0-000-cp37-cp37-manylinux_2_35_x86_64.whl
