Before installing OpenVINO, see the
:doc:System Requirements page <../../../about-openvino/release-notes-openvino/system-requirements>.
Installing OpenVINO Runtime #######################################
Step 1: Set Up the OpenVINO Toolkit APT Repository +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Install the GPG key for the repository
a. Download the GPG-PUB-KEY-INTEL-SW-PRODUCTS.PUB <https://apt.repos.intel.com/intel-gpg-keys/GPG-PUB-KEY-INTEL-SW-PRODUCTS.PUB>__
You can also use the following command:
.. code-block:: sh
wget https://apt.repos.intel.com/intel-gpg-keys/GPG-PUB-KEY-INTEL-SW-PRODUCTS.PUB
b. Add this key to the system keyring:
.. code-block:: sh
sudo gpg --output /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/intel.gpg --dearmor GPG-PUB-KEY-INTEL-SW-PRODUCTS.PUB
.. note::
You might need to install GnuPG:
.. code-block:: sh
sudo apt-get install gnupg
Add the repository via the following command:
.. tab-set::
.. tab-item:: Ubuntu 24 :sync: ubuntu-24
.. code-block:: sh
echo "deb https://apt.repos.intel.com/openvino ubuntu24 main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/intel-openvino.list
.. tab-item:: Ubuntu 22 :sync: ubuntu-22
.. code-block:: sh
echo "deb https://apt.repos.intel.com/openvino ubuntu22 main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/intel-openvino.list
.. tab-item:: Ubuntu 20 :sync: ubuntu-20
.. code-block:: sh
echo "deb https://apt.repos.intel.com/openvino ubuntu20 main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/intel-openvino.list
Update the list of packages via the update command:
.. code-block:: sh
sudo apt update
Verify that the APT repository is properly set up. Run the apt-cache command to see a list of all available OpenVINO packages and components:
.. code-block:: sh
apt-cache search openvino
Step 2: Install OpenVINO Runtime Using the APT Package Manager ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
.. tab-set::
.. tab-item:: The Latest Version :sync: latest-version
Run the following command:
.. code-block:: sh
sudo apt install openvino
.. tab-item:: A Specific Version :sync: specific-version
#. Get a list of OpenVINO packages available for installation:
.. code-block:: sh
sudo apt-cache search openvino
#. Install a specific version of an OpenVINO package:
.. code-block:: sh
sudo apt install openvino-<VERSION>.<UPDATE>.<PATCH>
For example:
.. code-block:: sh
sudo apt install openvino-2026.1.0
.. note::
You can use --no-install-recommends option to install only required packages.
Keep in mind that the build tools must be installed separately if you want to compile the samples.
Run the following command:
.. code-block:: sh
apt list --installed | grep openvino
Congratulations! You've just Installed OpenVINO! For some use cases you may still
need to install additional components. Check the
:doc:list of additional configurations <./configurations>
to see if your case needs any of them.
With the APT distribution, you can build OpenVINO sample files, as explained in the
:doc:guide for OpenVINO sample applications <../../../get-started/learn-openvino/openvino-samples>.
For C++ and C, just run the build_samples.sh script:
.. tab-set::
.. tab-item:: C++ :sync: cpp
.. code-block:: sh
/usr/share/openvino/samples/cpp/build_samples.sh
.. tab-item:: C :sync: c
.. code-block:: sh
/usr/share/openvino/samples/c/build_samples.sh
Python samples can run as following:
.. code-block:: sh
python3 /usr/share/openvino/samples/python/hello_query_device/hello_query_device.py
Uninstalling OpenVINO Runtime #######################################
To uninstall OpenVINO Runtime via APT, run the following command based on your needs:
.. tab-set::
.. tab-item:: The Latest Version :sync: latest-version
.. code-block:: sh
sudo apt autoremove openvino
.. tab-item:: A Specific Version :sync: specific-version
.. code-block:: sh
sudo apt autoremove openvino-<VERSION>.<UPDATE>.<PATCH>
For example:
.. code-block:: sh
sudo apt autoremove openvino-2026.1.0
