Get Started with the Intel® oneAPI Base Toolkit and Intel oneAPI HPC Toolkit for macOS*

Build and Run a Sample Project Using Visual Studio Code

Intel® oneAPI Base Toolkit and Intel® oneAPI HPC Toolkit

Note

An internet connection is required to download the samples for oneAPI toolkits. For information on how to use this toolkit offline, see Developing with Offline Systems in the Troubleshooting section.

To watch a video presentation of how to install the Sample Browser extension and create a project with Visual Studio Code, see Exploring oneAPI Samples with the Sample Browser in Visual Studio Code.

This procedure requires the Sample Browser extension to be installed. The next section will describe how to install it. If you have already installed it, skip to Create a Project Using Visual Studio Code.

For Visual Studio Code Users, Install the Sample Browser Extension

You can browse and download samples in Visual Studio Code using the Sample Browser extension:

  1. From Visual Studio Code, click on the Extensions logo in the left navigation.

  2. Locate the extension titled Sample Browser for Intel oneAPI Toolkits, or visit https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/publishers/intel-corporation to browse available extensions.
  3. Click Install.
  4. After the extension installs, close VS Code. The directions in the Build and Run a Sample section will show you how to launch VS Code so that the environment variable are set correctly.

Create a Project Using Visual Studio Code

  1. Navigate to the install directory and run setvars.sh.
    <install_dir>/setvars.sh
    If you customized the installation folder, setvars.sh is in your custom folder. See here for more information on setvars.sh.
  2. Launch VS Code:
    code
  3. Click on the oneAPI button on the left navigation to view samples.

  4. A list of available samples will open in the left navigation.

  5. Select a sample. Instructions for how to build and run that sample will appear in a preview window.
  6. To build and run a sample, click the + to the right of the sample name.
  7. Create a new folder for the sample. The sample will load in a new window:

  8. Click README.md to view instructions for the sample.

Note

Some oneAPI sample projects use Make and some use CMake. The README.md file for each sample specifies how to build the sample. For those samples that use CMake, we recommend that you install the CMake extension for VS Code that is maintained by Microsoft*. Your macOS* system does not come with CMake installed; you will have to install it manually if you wish to use CMake with the Intel oneAPI toolkits.
