 The OpenVINO™ Deployment Manager is a Python command-line tool that creates a deployment package by assembling the model, OpenVINO IR files, your application, and associated dependencies into a runtime package for your target device. This tool is delivered within the Intel® Distribution of OpenVINO™ toolkit for Linux, Windows and macOS release packages. It is available in the ``<INSTALL_DIR>/tools/deployment_manager`` directory after installation.
 
 This article provides instructions on how to create a package with Deployment Manager and then deploy the package to your target systems.
