Get Started with the Intel® oneAPI Base Toolkit and Intel oneAPI HPC Toolkit for macOS*
Intel® oneAPI Base Toolkit and Intel® oneAPI HPC Toolkit
For working at a Command Line Interface (CLI), the tools in the oneAPI toolkits are configured via environment variables. Set up your CLI environment by sourcing the setvars script:
Option 1: Source setvars.sh once per session
Source setvars.sh every time you open a new terminal window:
You can find the setvars.sh script in the root folder of your oneAPI installation, which is typically /opt/intel/oneapi/ for system wide installation and ~/intel/oneapi/ when installed as a private installation. Note that system wide installation requires root or sudo privileges.
For system wide installations:
. /opt/intel/oneapi/setvars.sh
For private installations:
. ~/intel/oneapi/setvars.sh
Option 2: One time setup for setvars.sh
Environment variables can be set up to automatically set using one of the methods below:
To have the environment automatically set up for your projects, include the command source <install_dir>/setvars.sh in a startup script where it will be invoked automatically (replace <install_dir> with the path to your oneAPI install location). The default installation locations are /opt/intel/oneapi/ for system wide installations and ~/intel/oneapi/ for private installations.
For example, you can add the source <install_dir>/setvars.sh command to your ~/.bashrc or ~/.bashrc_profile or ~/.profile file. To make the settings permanent for all accounts on your system, create a one-line .sh script in your system's /etc/profile.d folder that sources setvars.sh (for more details, see Ubuntu documentation on Environment Variables).
The script can be managed using a configuration file, which is especially helpful if you need to initialize specific versions of libraries or the compiler, rather than defaulting to the "latest" version. For more details, see . oneAPI Development Environment Setup for more configuration options.
To watch a video presentation of how to install extensions and use them to set up your environment, explore sample code, and connect to the Intel DevCloud using Visual Studio Code, see oneAPI Visual Studio Code Extensions.
You can use VS Code extensions to set your environment, create launch configurations, and browse and download samples:
From Visual Studio Code, click on the Extensions logo in the left navigation.
