Checking Your Installation

After installing the Intel® oneAPI Math Kernel Library (oneMKL), verify that the library is properly installed and configured:

  1. Intel® oneAPI Math Kernel Library installs in the <parent directory> directory.

    Check that the subdirectory of <parent directory> referred to as <mkl directory> was created.

    Check that subdirectories for Intel® oneAPI Math Kernel Library redistributable DLLs redist\ia32 and redist\intel64 were created in the <parent directory> directory (See redist.txtin the Intel® oneAPI Math Kernel Library documentation directory for a list of files that can be redistributed.)

  2. If you want to keep multiple versions of Intel® oneAPI Math Kernel Library installed on your system, update your build scripts to point to the correct Intel® oneAPI Math Kernel Library version.
  3. Check that the vars.bat file appears in the <mkl directory>\env directory.

    Use this file to assign Intel® oneAPI Math Kernel Library-specific values to several environment variables, as explained in Scripts to Set Environment Variables Setting Environment Variables .

  4. To understand how the Intel® oneAPI Math Kernel Library directories are structured, see Structure of the Intel® Math Kernel Library.

  5. To make sure that Intel® oneAPI Math Kernel Library runs on your system, launch an Intel® oneAPI Math Kernel Library example, as explained inUsing Code Examples.
