1.1. Installing the Required Packages
To run the OpenVINO™ notebook to quantize the model, you need to install some tools such as OpenVINO™ notebooks, JupyterLab*, and NNCF. The Intel® FPGA AI Suite provides a script to install all the required packages.
The script creates a Python virtual environment called nncf_env located under ~/build-quantization-env directory and installs packages using PIP. To run the script, issue the following command:
/opt/intel/fpga_ai_suite_2023.3/dla/bin/install_ov_notebooks.sh
If the installation is successful, you will see the following message:
Installation successful!
