 or
<install-dir>
.
<version>
 is the Advisor year and update version (for example,
2021.1
).The default installation path for the application,
<install-dir>
, can be found inside the following:
  • On
    Linux* OS
    :
    • /opt/intel/oneapi/advisor/<version>
       for root users
    • $HOME/intel/oneapi/advisor/<version>
       for non-root users
  • On
    Windows* OS
    :
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\oneAPI\advisor\<version>
    For 32-bit systems, the
    Program Files (x86)
     folder is
    Program Files
    .
  • On
    macOS*
    :
    /opt/intel/oneapi/advisor/<version>

Set Up Environment Variables via Script

On Windows OS
Run the following batch script: 
<install-dir>/setvars.bat
The script sets up the environment for the latest
Intel® Advisor
 version installed on your system. If you have more than one version of the
Intel Advisor
 installed want to set up environment for a lower version, also run the following batch script: 
source <install-dir>/advisor/<version>/env/vars.bat
where
<version>
 is an
Intel Advisor
 version you want to use.
On Linux OS and macOS
Run
one
 of the following shell scripts: 
source <install-dir>/setvars.sh
source <install-dir>/setvars.csh
The scripts set up the environment for the latest
Intel Advisor
 version installed on your system. If you have more than one version of the
Intel Advisor
 installed want to set up environment for a lower version, also run one of the following scripts: 
source <install-dir>/advisor/<version>/env/vars.sh
source <install-dir>/advisor/<version>/env/vars.csh
where
<version>
 is an
Intel Advisor
 version you want to use.
Use this way to set the
ADVISOR_<version>_DIR
 environment variable that you can use to specify additional include directories when compiling, so the compiler can find the
Intel® Advisor
 include file that defines annotations.

Set Up Environment Variables Manually

On Windows OS
  1. Open a command line window.
  2. View the current definition of the environment variable. For example, type:
    set ADVISOR_<version>_DIR
  3. Use a
    set
     command to set the environment variable. Type:
    set ADVISOR_<version>_DIR="<install-dir>"
    For example, for the Intel Advisor 2021:
    set
    ADVISOR_2021_DIR
    ="
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\oneAPI\
    advisor\latest"
  4. To always set this variable on the current system, add this definition to your system or user environment variables using
    Control Panel
    System and Security
    System
    Advanced system settings
    Environment Variables...
    .
On Linux OS and macOS
  1. View the current definition of the environment variable. For example, with the
    bash
     shell, type: 
    env | grep ADVISOR_<version>_DIR
  2. Use an
    export
     command to set the environment variable. Type:
    export ADVISOR_<version>_DIR="<install-dir>"
    For example, for the Intel Advisor 2021:
    export
    ADVISOR_2021_DIR
    ="
    /opt/intel/oneapi
    /advisor/latest"
  3. To always set this variable on the current system, add this definition to your
    .login
     or similar shell initialization file.
  4. To test the definition of an environment variable, type
    an
    export
     command.
Consider setting the following environment variables in addition to
ADVISOR_<version>_DIR
:
  • To determine whether evaluation features have been activated,.set the
    ADVISOR_EXPERIMENTAL
     environment variable
  • To locate the
    oneTBB
    include directory when working with programs using
    Intel® oneAPI Threading Building Blocks (oneTBB)
    , set the
    TBBROOT
     environment variable. See the help topic Defining the TBBROOT Environment Variable.
  • On Linux OS and macOS:
     use the
    BROWSER
     environment variable to locate an installed HTML browser. This enables the display of Get Started, Tutorials or Help from the
    Intel® Advisor
     GUI
    Help
    menu.
  • On Linux OS and macOS:
     use the
    VISUAL
     or
    EDITOR
     environment variable to specify the external editor to launch when you double-click a line in a
    Source
     window. (
    VISUAL
     takes precedence over
    EDITOR
    ).
