Obtaining Intel MKL Before installing Intel MKL, you should check the File Downloads section of Intel(R) Premier Support to see if a newer version or update is available. The version on CD or as listed in your electronic download license letter may not be the most current. In order to download and install a version from Intel Premier Support, you will first have to register for support as described under Technical Support. Installing Intel MKL Pre-Installation Instructions Note: the default installation directory for the Intel MKL 10.0 is /opt/intel/mkl/10.0.xxx , where xxx is the package number, for example, /opt/intel/mkl/10.0.039. Installation Instructions To install the Intel MKL package on Linux*, use the following instructions. The installation software installs the full Intel MKL file set for all supported processors. See the Intel MKL website for updates, when available. 1. Do either of the following A. Installing from the downloaded package Unpack the Intel MKL package in a directory which you have write access to: >tar -zxvf l_mkl_p_10.0.xxx.tgz where xxx is the package number. B. Installing from CD Insert an Intel MKL CD into your CD-ROM device and mount it. 2. Run the installation script A. Installing from the downloaded package Execute the install script in the directory where the tar file was extracted: > cd l_mkl_p_10.0.xxx > ./install.sh where xxx is the package number. B. Installing from CD Execute the install script in the directory where your CD-ROM device was mounted: > cd > ./install.sh 3. The install script will display a series of options: 1. Install 2. Readme 3. Release Notes 4. Installation Guide h. Help x. Exit Option 1 is used to install Intel MKL. Options 2 - 4 and h can be used to obtain additional information before installing. Type 1 and press Enter to begin the installation. 4. You will then be prompted to enter your serial number, the path to your license file or select a different option: Please make your selection by entering an option from the choices below: 1. Provide your serial number [Recommended] Use this option if you have a serial number to install and register your software. The Intel(R) Software Setup Assistant may connect to the Intel(R) Registration Center to verify your serial number. Please refer to the Intel(R) Privacy Policy regarding the collection and handling of your personal information. Your Serial Number is in XXXX-XXXXXXXX format. 2. Provide the absolute path for an existing license file. Use this option if you have obtained a license file instead of a serial number. 3. Where do I find my Serial Number? 4. Intel(R) Privacy Policy b. Go Back. h. Help. x. Exit. Please type a selection or Serial Number: The serial number and a license file were provided to you when you purchased the product, either in an e-mail from the reseller or on a sticker attached to the CD-ROM package. If you are connected to the internet, type your serial number and press Enter. The correct license file will be automatically downloaded and installed to your system. If you cannot connect to the internet, select option 2 and enter the absolute path to the license file. Note: If the install detects that you already have a valid license on your system, the first option will be: 1. Use existing license found on the system. [Recommended] 5. If you are not logged in as root, you will be asked if you want to install as root (recommended), which will update the system RPM database, or not as root, which won't use the system RPM database. Use the non-root install if you want to install to a private area. 6. The install script then extracts the product and does some prerequisite checking. If any other versions of Intel MKL are installed on the system, they will be displayed. Press Enter to proceed with installation, or type x to exit the install program. 7. Press enter again to display the license agreement. After the license agreement is displayed, you are prompted to accept or reject the license. If you accept the license, type accept and press enter. If you reject the license, type reject and press enter to end the install. 8. After temporary files have been extracted, a list of currently installed versions of Intel MKL will be displayed. If you wish to uninstall any of the previous versions, type the number next to the first version you want to uninstall or press Enter to uninstall all the versions. After the uninstall is finished you will be returned to this screen. Type c to continue with the installation. 9. You will be prompted for an install location. Press Enter to select the default location, or type another path. If you are installing with a non-root account, you will need to choose a location that you have write permission for. Please wait while the installation proceeds and when it completes, press Enter to continue. 10. After the install program deletes temporary files, you will be returned to the first installation menu (see step 3 above). Type x and press Enter to quit. 11. You may be prompted to register for the Intel(R) Premier Support, if you used the serial number that was not yet registered. After the registration, the install script exits. Note that Fortran 95 interface libraries for LAPACK and BLAS are delivered as source code, and you need to build them yourself. See the "Fortran 95 Interfaces and Wrappers to LAPACK and BLAS" section in the Intel MKL User's Guide on how to do this. Installation Warning for RPM 4.0.2, 4.1, 4.2.1(x64), 3.0.5 These RPMs cannot install to a non-default directory. This has been resolved in next versions of RPM. Silent Installation Silent installation enables installing Intel MKL on a single Linux machine in a batch mode, without input prompts. To run silent installation, 1. Log in as root 2. After the command prompt, enter ./install.sh --silent [] [{--serialnumber , --licensepath }] where is the name of the install configuration file, which contains answers to questions that the installer asks. The parameter is optional. If it is not specified, the installer will use the file SilentInstallConfigFile.ini in the “data” directory of the Intel MKL package. --serialnumber / --licensepath option enables providing Intel MKL serial number / license path right in the command line. --serialnumber and --licensepath are mutually exclusive and optional. If any of these options is specified, it overrides the appropriate setting, if any, in the configuration file. Note that it is your responsibility to create the configuration file ./data/SilentInstallConfigFile.ini . To do this, you are encouraged to use the --duplicate option (described below). Silent installation is especially helpful in case you have to replicate the installation on multiple similarly configured machines, such as cluster nodes. In this case, you should first save the configuration of your installation. To do this, run interactive installation with an additional option: ./install.sh --duplicate [] Running the installation with this option will cause a file to be created that contains all your answers to questions asked. The optional parameter, if supplied, determines the file to be created. If the parameter is not supplied, the file with the name MySilentInstallConfigFile.ini will be created in the same directory as the installer. If this directory is read-only, then the /tmp/mkl/ directory will be used. If the file already exists, it will be overwritten. Examples: ./install.sh --silent Runs silent installation using the default configuration file SilentInstallConfigFile.ini in the “data” directory. Note that default configuration files that ./install.sh --duplicate creates and ./install.sh --silent consumes are different. ./install.sh --silent /path/to/mysilentconfig.ini Run silent installation using /path/to/mysilentconfig.ini configuration file ./install.sh --silent --serialnumber XXXX-YYYYYYYY Runs silent installation using the default configuration file and the serial number specifed in the command line. Note that with the --serialnumber / --licensepath option supplied, the installation will run silently without the --silent option: ./install.sh --serialnumber XXXX-YYYYYYYY ./install.sh --silent --licensepath /path/to/mylicense.lic ./install.sh --licensepath /path/to/mylicense.lic Runs silent installation using the default configuration file and the license path specified in the command line. Note: If the installer cannot find the configuration file, which is explicitly specified or assumed by default, the former will complete with an error message, which for the last example above will look like “ERROR: Cannot read ../data/SilentInstallConfigFile.ini!”. The configuration file must also have at least read permissions. Uninstalling Intel MKL Follow the instructions below to uninstall Intel MKL. If you've installed Intel MKL as root, 1. Log in as root. 2. To uninstall, run /uninstall.sh . If you've installed Intel MKL to the default directory, use /opt/intel/mkl/10.0.xxx/uninstall.sh , where xxx is the package number Note: Uninstalling Intel MKL does not delete the corresponding license file.
