5.3.1. OpenVINO™ Toolkit

The Intel® FPGA AI Suite requires the OpenVINO™ Toolkit 2021.4.2 LTS for Linux.

For details, refer to Installing Intel® Distribution of OpenVINO™ Toolkit .

You can download the software from Download Intel® Distribution of OpenVINO™ Toolkit .

Use the following selections when downloading the Intel® Distribution of OpenVINO™ Toolkit from the download page:

Offline Installer

The following commands summarize the installation instructions after downloading the OpenVINO™ toolkit installer: 
tar zxf l_openvino_toolkit_p_2021.4.752.tgz
cd l_openvino_toolkit_p_2021.4.752
sudo -E ./install_openvino_dependencies.sh
sudo ./install_GUI.sh

To save disk space, you can omit the OpenVINO™ Toolkit DL Streamer component during installation. You must include all other components.

The installer might issue an error message that indicates the OpenCL is not installed and is needed for GPU operation of OpenVINO™ . You can safely ignore this error message. The Intel® FPGA AI Suite does not require OpenVINO™ GPU support.
