# Building the nGraph Python* API
This document provides the instructions for building the nGraph Python API from source on Linux, macOS and Windows 10 platforms.
For each platform, you can build and install the API as a part of OpenVINO™ Toolkit or as a Python wheel.
A Python wheel is a portable package that allows you to install nGraph in your Python distribution, or dedicated virtual environment.
## Linux* and macOS*
### Prerequisites
To build the nGraph Python API, you need to install a few additional packages.
On Ubuntu* 20.04 LTS you can use the following instructions to install the required packages, including Python and Cython.
apt install git wget build-essential cmake
apt install python3 python3-dev python3-pip python3-virtualenv python-is-python3
On macOS, you can use [Homebrew](https://brew.sh) to install required packages:
brew install cmake
brew install automake
brew install libtool
brew install python3
Install Cython in the Python installation, or virtualenv that you are planning to use:
pip3 install cython
### Configure and Build as a part of OpenVINO™ Toolkit on Linux and macOS
The following section illustrates how to build and install OpenVINO™ in a workspace directory using CMake.
The workspace directory is specified by the `${OPENVINO_BASEDIR}` variable. Set this variable to a directory of your choice:
export OPENVINO_BASEDIR=/path/to/my/workspace
Now you can clone the OpenVINO™ repository, configure it using `cmake` and build using `make`. Please note that we're disabling
the building of a few modules by setting the `ENABLE_*` flag to `OFF`. In order to build the OpenVINO™ Python APIs
set the mentioned flags to `ON`. Note the `CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX`, which defaults to `/usr/local/` if not set.
cd "${OPENVINO_BASEDIR}"
git clone --recursive https://github.com/openvinotoolkit/openvino.git
mkdir openvino/build
cd openvino/build
cmake .. \
-DENABLE_CLDNN=OFF \
-DENABLE_OPENCV=OFF \
-DENABLE_VPU=OFF \
-DENABLE_PYTHON=ON \
-DNGRAPH_ONNX_IMPORT_ENABLE=ON \
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="${OPENVINO_BASEDIR}/openvino_dist"
make -j 4
make install
The Python module is installed in the `${OPENVINO_BASEDIR}/openvino_dist/python/python<version>/` folder.
Set up the OpenVINO™ environment in order to add the module path to `PYTHONPATH`:
source ${OPENVINO_BASEDIR}/openvino_dist/bin/setupvars.sh
If you would like to use a specific version of Python, or use a virtual environment, you can set the `PYTHON_EXECUTABLE`
variable. For example:
```
-DPYTHON_EXECUTABLE=/path/to/venv/bin/python
-DPYTHON_EXECUTABLE=$(which python3.8)
```
### Build an nGraph Python Wheel on Linux and macOS
You can build the Python wheel running the following command:
cd "${OPENVINO_BASEDIR}/openvino/ngraph/python"
python3 setup.py bdist_wheel
Once completed, the wheel package should be located under the following path:
$ ls "${OPENVINO_BASEDIR}/openvino/ngraph/python/dist/"
ngraph_core-0.0.0-cp38-cp38-linux_x86_64.whl
You can now install the wheel in your Python environment:
cd "${OPENVINO_BASEDIR}/openvino/ngraph/python/dist/"
pip3 install ngraph_core-0.0.0-cp38-cp38-linux_x86_64.whl
## Windows* 10
### Prerequisites
In order to build OpenVINO™ and the nGraph Python wheel on Windows, you need to install Microsoft Visual Studio* and Python.
Once Python is installed, you also need to install Cython using `pip install cython`.
### Configure and Build as a Part of OpenVINO™ Toolkit on Windows
The following section illustrates how to build and install OpenVINO™ in a workspace directory using CMake.
The workspace directory is specified by the `OPENVINO_BASEDIR` variable. Set this variable to a directory of your choice:
set OPENVINO_BASEDIR=/path/to/my/workspace
Configure the build with a `cmake` invocation similar to the following. Note that need to set `-G` and
`-DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER` to match the version and location of your Microsoft Visual Studio installation.
```
cmake .. ^
-G"Visual Studio 16 2019" ^
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ^
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="%OPENVINO_BASEDIR%/openvino_dist" ^
-DENABLE_CLDNN=OFF ^
-DENABLE_OPENCV=OFF ^
-DENABLE_VPU=OFF ^
-DNGRAPH_ONNX_IMPORT_ENABLE=ON ^
-DENABLE_PYTHON=ON ^
-DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER="C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.27.29110\bin\Hostx64\x64"
```
There are a couple of things to notice here. One is that the full path to the x64 version of
MSVC compiler has to be specified. This is because DNNL requires a 64-bit version and `cmake` may
fail to detect it correctly.
If you want to specify an exact Python version, use the following options:
```
-DPYTHON_EXECUTABLE="C:\Program Files\Python37\python.exe" ^
-DPYTHON_LIBRARY="C:\Program Files\Python37\libs\python37.lib" ^
-DPYTHON_INCLUDE_DIR="C:\Program Files\Python37\include" ^
```
In order to build and install OpenVINO™, build the `install` target:
cmake --build . --target install --config Release -j 8
In this step, OpenVINO™ is built and installed to the directory specified above. You can
adjust the number of threads used in the building process to your machine's capabilities.
Set up the OpenVINO™ environment in order to add a module path to `PYTHONPATH`:
%OPENVINO_BASEDIR%\openvino_dist\bin\setupvars.bat
### Build an nGraph Python Wheel on Windows
Build the Python wheel package:
cd "%OPENVINO_BASEDIR%/openvino/ngraph/python"
python setup.py bdist_wheel
The final wheel should be located in the `ngraph\python\dist` directory.
dir openvino\ngraph\python\dist\
10/09/2020 04:06 PM 4,010,943 ngraph_core-0.0.0-cp38-cp38-win_amd64.whl
## Run Tests
### Use a virtualenv (Optional)
You may wish to use a virutualenv for your installation.
$ virtualenv -p $(which python3) venv
$ source venv/bin/activate
(venv) $
### Install the nGraph Wheel and Other Requirements
(venv) $ cd "${OPENVINO_BASEDIR}/openvino/ngraph/python"
(venv) $ pip3 install -r requirements.txt
(venv) $ pip3 install -r requirements_test.txt
(venv) $ pip3 install dist/ngraph_core-0.0.0-cp38-cp38-linux_x86_64.whl
### Run Tests
You should now be able to run tests.
You may need to run the `setupvars` script from the OpenVINO™ Toolkit to set paths to OpenVINO™ components.
source ${OPENVINO_BASEDIR}/openvino_dist/bin/setupvars.sh
Now you can run tests using `pytest`:
pytest tests
