You can install Intel DAAL from the provided binary packages or from the GitHub* sources.

For platform-specific getting started documents, see the following pages:

• Getting Started with Intel(R) Data Analytics Acceleration Library for Windows*
• Getting Started with Intel(R) Data Analytics Acceleration Library for Linux*
• Getting Started with Intel(R) Data Analytics Acceleration Library for macOS*

You can download an archive from the GitHub* release page at https://github.com/01org/daal/releases. This archive contains a script to set the environment variables for library usage in the daal/bin directory.

If you have issues with running the script, you may need to replace the INSTALLDIR string in daal/bin/daalvars.sh and/or daal/bin/daalvars.csh with the name of the directory where you unpacked the archive.

• C/C++ compiler (see System Requirements)

• Java* JDK (see System Requirements)

• Microsoft Visual Studio* (Windows* only)

• Git Large File Storage (LFS) extension

• http://msys2.github.io with the msys/make package (Windows* only); install the package as follows:

    pacman -S msys/make
  

1. Clone the sources from GitHub* as follows:

    git clone --recursive https://github.com/01org/daal.git
   

2. Set the PATH environment variable to the MSYS2* bin directory (Windows* only); for example:

    set PATH=C:\msys64\usr\bin;%PATH%
   

3. Set an environment variable for Microsoft Visual Studio* (Windows* only); for example:

    call "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat" amd64
   

4. Set an environment variable for one of the supported C/C++ compilers

5. Set an environment variable for one of the supported Java* compilers; for example:

    set PATH=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_77\bin;%PATH%
    set INCLUDE=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_77\include;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_77\include\win32;%INCLUDE%
   

6. Install Intel(R) Threading Building Blocks (Intel(R) TBB) (Windows* only)

   Download and install free Community License Intel TBB. See this page for more details.

   Copy Intel TBB header files and libraries into Intel DAAL folder. E.g.: xcopy /I /Y /Q /E "C:\Program Files (x86)\IntelSWTools\compilers_and_libraries_2017.2.187\windows\redist" %DAALDIR%\externals\tbb\win\redist xcopy /I /Y /Q /E "C:\Program Files (x86)\IntelSWTools\compilers_and_libraries_2017.2.187\windows\tbb" %DAALDIR%\externals\tbb\win\tbb

7. Build Intel DAAL via the command-line interface with the following commands, depending on your platform:

• on Linux* using Intel(R) C++ Compiler:

      make daal PLAT=lnx32e
  

• on Linux* using GNU Compiler Collection*:

      make daal PLAT=lnx32e COMPILER=gnu
  

• on macOS* using Intel(R) C++ Compiler:

      make daal PLAT=mac32e
  

• on macOS* using Clang*:

      make daal PLAT=mac32e COMPILER=clang
  

• on Windows* using Intel(R) C++ Compiler:

      make daal PLAT=win32e
  

• on Windows* using Microsoft Visual* C++ Compiler:

      make daal PLAT=win32e COMPILER=vc
  

Built libraries are located in the __release_{os_name}/daal directory.

Intel DAAL can be also used with Python* interfaces. You can find the pyDAAL package at http://anaconda.org/intel/pydaal.
