1. Review the command-line options in Command Line Installation Parameters.
2. Download the toolkit by entering the following command:
curl https://registrationcenter-download.intel.com/akdlm/IRC_NAS/fb0535f3-9be5-4426-9283-d79009e0851e/intel-deep-learning-essentials-2026.1.0.196_offline.exe --output intel-deep-learning-essentials-2026.1.0.196_offline.exe
3. Update the following with your selected parameters:
- For a silent installation, run the following command. The commands listed below are valid only for the most current version.
intel-deep-learning-essentials-2026.1.0.196_offline.exe -a --silent --eula accept
In a silent installation, integration into Microsoft Visual Studio* is by default (if supported). You must install the Desktop development with C++ workload in each Visual Studio* instance you start.
- To skip Visual Studio* integration, pass the following arguments to the installation command by entering: -p=NEED_VSXXXX_INTEGRATION=0, where XXXX is the Visual Studio* version. For example, to install a toolkit and skip integration into Visual Studio* 2022, enter the following installation command:
intel-deep-learning-essentials-2026.1.0.196_offline.exe -s -a --silent --eula accept -p=NEED_VS2022_INTEGRATION=0
4. After the installation is complete, verify that the toolkit is installed in the default directory: C:\Program Files(x86)\Intel\oneAPI.
