You can use a terminal window or Visual Studio Code* for command-line development. Some tasks can be automated using extensions. To learn more, seeUsing Visual Studio Code with Intel® oneAPI Toolkits.
Before you begin, make sure your development environment is set up. If you have not already configured your environment, go to Configure Your System before proceeding.
To compile and run a sample:
Use the oneAPI CLI Samples Browser to explore the collection of online oneAPI samples. The oneAPI CLI utility is a single-file, stand-alone executable that has no dependencies on dynamic runtime libraries. You can copy samples to your local disk as buildable sample projects. The build instructions are included as part of the sample in a README file. Most oneAPI sample projects are built using Make or CMake.
Watch a video walkthrough of creating a sample project:Exploring Intel® oneAPI Samples from the Command Line.
The oneAPI CLI Samples Browser does not work with system proxy settings and does not support WPAD proxy. If you have trouble connecting from behind a proxy, please see Troubleshooting.
