Prerequisites
Consider the following important information before installing the Intel oneAPI packages.
Check System Requirements
Refer to one of the following documents specific for your toolkit to learn more about compatibility details:
Intel® oneAPI Base Toolkit Release Notes | System Requirements
Intel® HPC Toolkit Release Notes | System Requirements
Intel® oneAPI System Bring-up Toolkit Release Notes | System Requirements
Intel® Rendering Toolkit Release Notes | System Requirements
Install Eclipse*
To use third-party IDE, install Eclipse* on your Linux* OS host system before installing oneAPI Toolkits. This allows you to integrate the plugins as part of the Intel oneAPI Base Toolkit installation.
Set Environment Variables (optional)
Environment variables can be set up manually (as described in Get Started Guides and sample README files) or automatically using one of the methods below:
Use modulefiles
Set Up Your System for GPU
If you are using GPU, complete the following steps before or after Intel oneAPI installation:
Check that you have fulfilled the requirements of Intel® Graphics Compute Runtime for oneAPI Level Zero and OpenCL™ Driver. Make sure that you have permissions to access the /dev/dri/renderD\* and /dev/dri/card\* files. This typically means that your user account is a member of the video (on Ubuntu* 18, Fedora* 30, and SLES* 15 SP1) or render (on Ubuntu* 19 and higher, CentOS* 8, and Fedora* 31) group. Alternatively, an administrator with sudo or root privilege can change the group owner of /dev/dri/renderD\* and /dev/dri/card\* to a group ID used by your user base.
For HPC use cases, adjust driver defaults by setting udev rules as described in Set Up User Permissions for Using the Device files for Intel GPUs.
If you plan to use the Intel® Distribution for GDB* on Linux* OS, make sure to configure debugger access.
