Intel Corporation

12 Sep 2018

This page provides general installation and support notes about the Community forum supported Intel® Performance Libraries and Intel® Distribution for Python as they are distributed via the YUM repositories described below.

This article is in the Product Showcase section for our sponsors at CodeProject. These articles are intended to provide you with information on products and services that we consider useful and of value to developers.

These software development tools are also available as part of the Intel® Parallel Studio XE and Intel® System Studio products. These products include enterprise-level Intel® Online Service Center support.

Setting up the Repository

Here is how to install the Intel YUM Repository. [Note: You must be logged in as root to set up and install the repository]

Add the repositories in two ways:

Add all Intel® Performance Libraries and Intel® Distribution for Python* repositories at once:
```
sudo yum-config-manager --add-repo https://yum.repos.intel.com/setup/intelproducts.repo
```
You can enable or disable repositories in the intelproducts.repo file by setting the value of the enabled directive to 1 or 0 as required.

Add an individual product:

Intel® Math Kernel Library (Intel® MKL):

sudo yum-config-manager --add-repo https://yum.repos.intel.com/mkl/setup/intel-mkl.repo

Intel® Integrated Performance Primitives (Intel® IPP):

sudo yum-config-manager --add-repo https://yum.repos.intel.com/ipp/setup/intel-ipp.repo

Intel® Threading Building Blocks (Intel® TBB):

sudo yum-config-manager --add-repo https://yum.repos.intel.com/tbb/setup/intel-tbb.repo

Intel® Data Analytics Acceleration Library (Intel® DAAL):

sudo yum-config-manager --add-repo https://yum.repos.intel.com/daal/setup/intel-daal.repo

Intel® MPI Library:

sudo yum-config-manager --add-repo https://yum.repos.intel.com/mpi/setup/intel-mpi.repo

Intel® Distribution for Python*:

sudo yum-config-manager --add-repo https://yum.repos.intel.com/intelpython/setup/intelpython.repo

Import the gpg public key for the repository

sudo rpm --import https://yum.repos.intel.com/intel-gpg-keys/GPG-PUB-KEY-INTEL-SW-PRODUCTS-2019.PUB

Troubleshooting

In certain cases, an update through the Intel YUM repositories may fail due to a caching issue. Please follow these steps in order to disable caching in YUM and clean up your local repo prior to update.

Disable caching in YUM config file '/etc/yum.conf':
```
http_caching=none
```
Delete any temporary YUM files:
```
rm -r /var/tmp/yum*
```
Cleanup your local YUM repository:
```
yum clean metadata
```
```
yum clean all
```
Reboot your machine
Now re-attempt the YUM update:
```
yum update
```
