Installation

If you have a previous version of the Intel® MPI Library for Linux*Windows* OS installed, you do not need to uninstall it before installing a newer version.

Extract the l_mpi[-rt]_p_<version>.<package-num>.tar.gz package by using following command:

$ tar -xvzf l_mpi[-rt]_p_<version>.<package-num>.tar.gz

This command creates the subdirectory l_mpi[-rt]_p_<version>.<package-num>.

To start installation, run install.sh. The default installation path for the Intel® MPI Library is /opt/intel/compilers_and_libraries_<version>.<update>.<package#>/linux/mpi.

There are two different installations:

Scripts, include files and libraries for different architectures, are located in different directories. By default, you can find binary files and all needed scripts under the <install-dir> directory.

To install the Intel MPI Library, double-click on the distribution file w_mpi_oneapi_p_<version>.<package-num>.exe.

You will be asked to choose a directory in which the contents of the self-extracting installation file will be placed before the actual installation begins. After installation, the files will still be located in this directory. By default, C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Download is used on machines with Intel® 64 architecture.

Follow the prompts outlined by the installation wizard to complete the installation.

Note

You need domain administrator rights when you install the Intel® MPI Library on the Microsoft Windows* OS. Otherwise, you cannot proceed with the Active Directory* setup. See the Intel® MPI Library Developer Reference for more Active Directory setup information.
