Installation

To install the latest release of 🤗 Optimum Intel with the corresponding required dependencies, you can do respectively:

Accelerator | Installation
--- | ---
Intel Neural Compressor (INC) | `pip install --upgrade --upgrade-strategy eager "optimum[neural-compressor]"`
Intel OpenVINO | `pip install --upgrade --upgrade-strategy eager "optimum[openvino]"`
Intel Extension for PyTorch | `pip install --upgrade --upgrade-strategy eager "optimum[ipex]"`

The `--upgrade-strategy eager` option is needed to ensure `optimum-intel` is upgraded to the latest version.

We recommend creating a virtual environment and upgrading pip with :

    python -m pip install --upgrade pip

Optimum Intel is a fast-moving project, and you may want to install from source with the following command:

    python -m pip install git+https://github.com/huggingface/optimum-intel.git

or to install from source including dependencies:

    python -m pip install "optimum-intel[extras]"@git+https://github.com/huggingface/optimum-intel.git

where `extras` can be one or more of `neural-compressor`, `openvino`, `ipex`.
