Installation of Intel oneAPI suite of compilers on Ubuntu Linux

Intel has recently changed their business model. Their suite of compilers, debuggers, toolkits, and libraries are given free of cost for personal or academic use. Here I explain how to install them on Ubuntu linux. All of these softwares are activated using a single source command.

Pre-requisites

Make sure that you have the following packages already installed on your ubuntu machine.

1. cmake
2. pkg-config
3. build-essential

If they are not installed, you can install using the following command:

sudo apt update
sudo apt -y install cmake pkg-config build-essential

Intel Repository Public Key

Get the Intel Repository public key and add it to your apt sources keyring so the packages will be trusted by ubuntu.

# use wget to fetch the Intel repository public key
wget https://apt.repos.intel.com/intel-gpg-keys/GPG-PUB-KEY-INTEL-SW-PRODUCTS.PUB
# add to your apt sources keyring so that archives signed with this key will be trusted.
sudo apt-key add GPG-PUB-KEY-INTEL-SW-PRODUCTS.PUB
# remove the public key
rm GPG-PUB-KEY-INTEL-SW-PRODUCTS.PUB

Configure apt client to use Intel repository

echo "deb https://apt.repos.intel.com/oneapi all main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/oneAPI.list

or

sudo add-apt-repository "deb https://apt.repos.intel.com/oneapi all main"

Install all the packages or selected packages.
