Setup Running Environment

1. Python

   We recommend you use Python 3.9 or newer. Check which version you're running by using this command:

   python -V
   

2. Create Virtual Environment

   We recommend you create a virtual Python environment called env_itex and install official Tensorflow* in it, like this:

   export ENV_NAME=env_itex
   rm -rf $ENV_NAME
   python -m venv $ENV_NAME
   source $ENV_NAME/bin/activate
   pip install --upgrade pip
   pip install tensorflow
   

3. Install Intel® Extension for TensorFlow*

   pip install --upgrade intel-extension-for-tensorflow[xpu]
   

Running

Enable oneAPI Running Environment

source /opt/intel/oneapi/setvars.sh

Enable Virtual Running Environment
