To watch a video walkthrough of creating a project, see

- Navigate to the Eclipse directory and source setvars.sh.
For root or sudo installations:
. /opt/intel/oneapi/setvars.sh
For non-root user installations:
. ~/intel/oneapi/setvars.sh
See here for more information on
setvars.sh.
- Launch Eclipse from the folder where it was installed:
./eclipse
- In Eclipse, select your workspace and create a project with
Intel > Browse Intel oneAPI Samples. The wizard selection screen appears.
- Enter a name for your project in the New Project Name field. Use the > arrow to select the
Intel® oneAPI Base Toolkit.
- Select the
Intel® oneAPI DPC++/C++ Compiler > CPU, GPU and FPGA group, then select
Vector Add.
Vector Add is a simple test application that helps verify that the tools are setup correctly and can access your system's GPU.
- The
Vector Add sample opens in the C++ perspective and the sample will run. Check the
Problems view at the bottom. If there are any errors, they will display in the
Problems tab.

- To build a project, select
Project > Build Project. When building, the Eclipse Console view (usually in the lower right) will show you a build log, along with any errors or warnings. In this example, no errors were found.
