Building from source openvino on Ubuntu 24.4

DH55T5 — Sat, 18 Apr 2026 12:17:05 GMT

I've been trying hard to have a fully installed Openvino Toolkit from source but everytime, something is missing. Im on Ubuntu 24.4, with a Intel CPU i7 and a old IGPU so I tought it will be the best. Unfortunatly, after many many tries, I must say, I'm quite discourage. So my question is simple: Is anyone already made a full install (only green checks or minor warnings)
If yes : Is with CMAKE gui, ninja, VSCODE? please need help !

Hi DH55T5,

Thank you for reaching out.

I'm able to build OpenVINO from source with Ubuntu 24.04.

Here are the steps:

#create virtual environment:

python3 -m venv ov_build_env

source ov_build_env/bin/activate

#install necessary packages:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

sudo apt install -y git cmake build-essential python3-pip python3-dev python3-venv

sudo apt install unzip fdupes

pip install packaging

pip install setuptools

Clone OpenVINO GitHub repo:

git clone https://github.com/openvinotoolkit/openvino.git

cd openvino/

git submodule update --init --recursive

chmod +x scripts/install_dependencies/install_openvino_dependencies.sh

sudo ./scripts/install_dependencies/install_openvino_dependencies.sh

#build:

mkdir build && cd build

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \

-DENABLE_PYTHON=ON \

-DENABLE_WHEEL=ON \

-DENABLE_STRICT_COMPILATION=OFF \

-DENABLE_SYSTEM_TBB=ON \

-DENABLE_TESTS=OFF \

-DENABLE_CPPLINT=OFF \

-DENABLE_INTEL_NPU=OFF \

make -j$(nproc)

Let me know if you encounter any errors.

Regards,

Zulkifli A.

I actually get stuck at 78% (after the intel_cpu_plugins wich is intel_gpu_plugins) I tried to find the linux repo that you have somewhere on your website so there is my new question: may I have the direct link please thanks.

Hi DH55T5,

Can you share which Intel i7 processor you are using? And if you could also share the error log, that would be nice.
