Note:
- macOS* support for Mac* computers with Intel® Processors.
- Intel oneAPI Base Toolkit for macOS on x86 is now deprecated and will be discontinued in the 2024.0 release. Several Intel-led open source developer tool projects will continue supporting macOS on Apple Silicon including oneAPI Threading Building Blocks (oneTBB) and Intel® Implicit SPMD Program Compiler and we welcome the opportunity to work with contributors to expand support to additional tools in the future.
Development Tools
Diagnostics Utility for Intel® oneAPI Toolkits
The Diagnostics Utility for Intel® oneAPI Toolkits is designed to diagnose the system status for using Intel® products. With this utility, you can identify errors such as:
- Permissions errors for the current user
- Missing driver or an incompatible version of a driver
- Incompatible version of the Operating System
To learn more, see the Diagnostics Utility for Intel® oneAPI Toolkits User Guide.

oneAPI Toolkits on Microsoft* Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 (WSL 2)
- With Microsoft* Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 (WSL2), you can use native Linux distribution of Intel® oneAPI tools and libraries on Windows*. For more information on usage, refer to Use Intel® oneAPI Toolkits on Microsoft* Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 (WSL 2)
Known Issues
- Intel® oneAPI Base Toolkit online and offline installer fails to install on Microsoft* Windows* 11 Enterprise when Intel® Distribution for Python* is selected for install with the Intel oneAPI Base Toolkit.
Workaround: Install Intel oneAPI Base Toolkit using the online or offline installer and select Custom Installation and de-select Intel Distribution for Python. If you need Intel Distribution for Python, install that with Anaconda using directions here.
- When installing on Rocky Linux using the YUM repository or the binary package, the installer prints an unsupported OS warning message. That can be safely ignored for this release.
