Intel OpenVINO support for Ubuntu 20.04

[Abhik_B]

I was trying to install Intel OpenVINO release 2020.3 on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. However, it does not seem to install because of no support. I changed install_openvino_dependencies.sh at line 77 to this from its original "16.04":

if [ "$system_ver" = "20.04" ];

 in hopes of bypassing the thing. But even after installation process, it doesn't seem to have completely installed as when I invoke setupvars.sh  at /opt/intel/openvino/bin, it says:

ls: cannot access '/opt/intel/openvino/deployment_tools/inference_engine/lib/': No such file or directory
[setupvars.sh] OpenVINO environment initialized

1. Is there a way to solve this till Intel releases a supported revision of OpenVINO?

2. If not then what might be the alternatives? 

PS: I have a project deadline for Intel OpenVINO based solution coming up. Please Help.

You can either compile OpenVino from source on your Ubuntu 20.04 machine, or install Ubuntu 18.04 in your machine (or a virtual machine) and install the current version of OpenVino.

Thank You @samontab! Looks like virtualbox is the option for now then. I had installed Intel OpenVINO on Windows' WSL2 previously and it seemed that version was not a great obstacle. Anyway, thanks again!

Yeah, it works perfectly fine with VirtualBox. Enjoy!
