Installing

Once the project is built you can install OpenVINO™ Runtime into custom location:

cmake --install <BUILDDIR> --prefix <INSTALLDIR>

Build and Run Samples

Build samples.

To build C++ sample applications, run the following commands:

Linux and macOS:

cd <INSTALLDIR>/samples/cpp
./build_samples.sh

Windows Command Prompt:

cd <INSTALLDIR>\samples\cpp
build_samples_msvc.bat

Windows PowerShell:

& <path-to-build-samples-folder>/build_samples.ps1

Download a model.

You can download an image classification model from Hugging Face to run the sample

Convert the model.

Linux and macOS:

ovc <path-to-your-model> --compress_to_fp16=True

Windows:

bat

ovc <path-to-your-model> --compress_to_fp16=True

Run inference on the sample.

Set up the OpenVINO environment variables:

Linux and macOS:
sh
```
source <INSTALLDIR>/setupvars.sh
```
Windows Command Prompt:
bat
```
<INSTALLDIR>\setupvars.bat
```
Windows PowerShell:
bat
```
. <path-to-setupvars-folder>/setupvars.ps1
```
The following commands run the Image Classification Code Sample using the [dog.bmp](https://storage.openvinotoolkit.org/data/test_data/images/ 224x224/dog.bmp) file as an input image, the model in IR format, and on different hardware devices:

Linux and macOS:
sh
```
cd ~/openvino_cpp_samples_build/<architecture>/Release
./classification_sample_async -i <path-to-input-image>/dog.bmp -m <path-to-your-model>/model.xml -d CPU
```
where the <architecture> is the output of uname -m, for example, intel64, armhf, or aarch64.

Windows:
bat
```
cd  %USERPROFILE%\Documents\Intel\OpenVINO\openvino_cpp_samples_build\<architecture>\Release
.\classification_sample_async.exe -i <path-to-input-image>\dog.bmp -m <path-to-your-model>\model.xml -d CPU
```
where the <architecture> is either intel64 or aarch64 depending on the platform architecture.

When the sample application is complete, you see the label and confidence data for the top 10 categories on the display:

Below are results of using the googlenet-v1 model.

Adding OpenVINO Runtime to Your Project

For CMake projects, set the OpenVINO_DIR and when you run CMake tool:

cmake -DOpenVINO_DIR=<INSTALLDIR>/runtime/cmake .

Then you can find OpenVINO Runtime by [find_package]:

cmake

find_package(OpenVINO REQUIRED)
add_executable(ov_app main.cpp)
target_link_libraries(ov_app PRIVATE openvino::runtime)

add_executable(ov_c_app main.c)
target_link_libraries(ov_c_app PRIVATE openvino::runtime::c)
