Installing Intel® FPGA AI Suite on Red Hat* Enterprise Linux* Operating Systems
For Red Hat* Enterprise Linux*, the Intel® FPGA AI Suite is provided as an RPM package that you can install with the dnf command. The dnf command automatically installs several dependencies.
sudo dnf install <full path to fpga-ai-suite.rpm>
Installing Intel® FPGA AI Suite on Ubuntu* Operating Systems
For Ubuntu* operating systems (including those running in a WSL 2 environment), the Intel® FPGA AI Suite is provided as a package that you can install with the apt command. The apt command automatically installs several dependencies. Choose the correct Debian package for your operating system (either Ubuntu* 18 or Ubuntu* 20).
On Ubuntu* 18.04, you might need to update the package database with the apt update command before you install the Intel® FPGA AI Suite package.
sudo apt-get install --reinstall libappstream4 sudo apt update sudo apt install <full path to fpga-ai-suite.deb>
Installing Intel® FPGA AI Suite in a Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 Environment
The Intel® FPGA AI Suite supports Ubuntu* 20.04 LTS running in a Windows* Subsystem for Linux 2 (WSL 2) environment. Ensure that your WSL 2 environment has Ubuntu* 20.04 LTS installed and that you have internet access from your WSL 2 environment.
- Move the downloaded .deb file from its downloaded location in your Windows file system to a location in your Linux* file system. You can drag-and-drop the file using Windows* File Explorer. You can find the Linux* file system the Linux entry in the File Explorer navigation pane.
- Start a WSL 2 terminal session.
- In the WSL2 terminal session, install the package into the default location in /opt/intel/ by locating the .deb file in your Linux* file system and running the following commands:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall libappstream4 sudo apt update sudo apt install <full path to fpga-ai-suite.deb>
