Linux - Initial Setup

Install Intel® Distribution of OpenVINO™ Toolkit

Refer to this page for more information about how to install and setup the Intel® Distribution of OpenVINO™ Toolkit.

You will need the OpenCL™ Runtime Package if you plan to run inference on the GPU. It is not mandatory for CPU inference.

Install Nodejs and its dependencies

• This step is only required if the user previously used Chris Lea’s Node.js PPA.

sudo add-apt-repository -y -r ppa:chris-lea/node.js
sudo rm -f /etc/apt/sources.list.d/chris-lea-node_js-*.list
sudo rm -f /etc/apt/sources.list.d/chris-lea-node_js-*.list.save

• To install Nodejs and Npm, run the below commands:

  curl -sSL https://deb.nodesource.com/gpgkey/nodesource.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -
  VERSION=node_6.x
  DISTRO="$(lsb_release -s -c)"
  echo "deb https://deb.nodesource.com/$VERSION $DISTRO main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nodesource.list
  echo "deb-src https://deb.nodesource.com/$VERSION $DISTRO main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nodesource.list
  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get install nodejs
  

Install the following dependencies

sudo apt update
sudo apt-get install python3-pip
pip3 install numpy
pip3 install paho-mqtt
sudo apt install libzmq3-dev libkrb5-dev
sudo apt install ffmpeg
sudo apt-get install cmake

If you’re prompted to upgrade pip, do not update.
