Environment Configurator Extension

The Environment Configurator for Intel® oneAPI Toolkits extension is a lightweight extension that provides control of the oneAPI development environment and makes it easier to configure oneAPI projects for build, run, and debug.
To install the extension:
  1. Open the Extension Marketplace in VS Code and search for
    oneAPI
    .
  2. Install the extension titled
    Environment Configurator for Intel oneAPI Toolkits
    .

Set oneAPI Environment

With this extension, you can set your environment from VS Code:
  1. Press Ctrl+Shift+P ( or View -> Command Palette… ) to open the Command Palette.
  2. Type
    Intel oneAPI
     to view options of the installed extensions.
  3. Click on
    Intel oneAPI: Initialize environment variables
    . If you see a prompt to locate a file, navigate to where your
    setvars
     script is located:
    • Linux:
      <install_dir>/intel/oneapi/
      .
    • Windows:
      <install_dir>\Intel\oneAPI\
  4. All tasks, launches, and terminals created from VS Code will now contain the oneAPI environment. If you make a new connection such as ssh, repeat the steps above to configure the environment again.
Next, run a sample project locally, over SSH or in a container, or read about the Launch & Intellisense Configurator extension.
When you have completed working on your oneAPI project and want to remove the oneAPI environment, select open the Command Palette again and select
Clear environment variables
. The next time you want to initialize the oneAPI environment you will need to repeat the steps above.
