1. Make sure your system meets the System Requirements.

2. Microsoft Visual Studio* is required for installations on Windows*. The installer checks for Visual Studio. If you do not have Visual Studio, you can install one of the following versions:

• Visual Studio 2019 
• Visual Studio 2022 
• Visual Studio build tools 2019 
• Visual Studio build tools 2022 

For more information, see Visual Studio 2019 or Visual Studio 2022 
3. Before enabling integration into Microsoft Visual Studio via the oneAPI toolkit installer, install the Desktop development with C++ workload into each Visual Studio instance.

Make sure your system meets the System Requirements.

2. Run the Intel® DSA, and then follow the on-screen prompts to install the latest version of Intel Graphics - Windows 10 or 11 DCH Drivers.
3. To troubleshoot any installation issues or to manually install a driver without the use of the Intel DSA, see How to Install an Intel® Graphics Driver in Windows® 10 & Windows 11*.

Microsoft Visual Studio Instructions

There are two methods for verifying that the tools are installed correctly. Choose the one that works for you. Vector-Add is a simple sample used in both methods.

Microsoft Visual Studio

1. Follow the instructions in the Get Started Guide

Command Line Browser (recommended)

Use the oneAPI sample browser:

1. Create a folder where you want to store your sample. For example, C:\samples\vector-add
2. Open a command window. 
3. Set system variables by running setvars. There are two variants for component directory and unified directory layouts.

a. Component Directory Layout: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\oneAPI\setvars.bat"

          Note: For Windows* PowerShell* users, enter this command:

cmd.exe "/K" '"C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\oneAPI\setvars.bat" && powershell'

b. Unified Directory Layout: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\oneAPI\<toolkit-version>\oneapi-vars.bat"

         Note: For Windows PowerShell* users, enter this command:

cmd.exe "/K" '"C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\oneAPI\<toolkit-version>\oneapi-vars.bat" && powershell'

         The previous command assumes that you installed to the default folder. If you customized the installation folder, setvars | oneapi-vars is in your custom folder.

4. To launch the oneAPI Samples Browser utility, enter the following command: oneapi-cli

5. Press the up and down arrow keys to navigate to the sample: Create a project > cpp > Base: Vector Add.

6. To select the sample, press Enter. 

7. Specify the project's location. The default location includes the path from where the utility was run and the project name. 

8. Press Tab to select Create, and then press Enter. 

9. Configure the build system and build the Vector Add sample as described in the sample documentation.

Explore more samples in the oneAPI Samples Catalog.

There are three methods to verify that the tools are installed correctly. Pick the one that works for you. Vector add is a simple sample used in all three methods.

• Command-line browser (recommended)
• Microsoft Visual Studio Code
• Eclipse IDE

Command-Line Browser

To use the oneAPI sample browser utility:

1. Set environmental variables by sourcing the oneapi-vars.sh script:

. /opt/intel/oneapi/<toolkit-version>/oneapi-vars.sh

2. To launch the oneAPI Samples Browser utility, enter the following command :

oneapi-cli

3. Press  the up and down arrow keys to navigate to the sample: Create a project > cpp > Base: Vector Add.

4. To select the sample, press Enter.
5. Specify the project's location. The default location includes the path from where the utility was run and the name of the project. 
6. Press Tab to select Create, and then press Enter. 
7. Configure the build system and build the Vector Add sample as described in the sample documentation. 

Explore more samples in the oneAPI Samples Catalog.
