Finding Intel® Cryptography Primitives Library on Your System

The Unified Directory Layout was implemented in 2021.9 (Intel® oneAPI Toolkit release 2024.0). If you have multiple toolkit versions installed, the Unified layout adds the ability to ensure your development environment contains the component versions that were released as part of that specific toolkit version.

The Unified Directory Layout is available only when installing the Intel® oneAPI Base Toolkit (Base Kit). It is not available if you installed Intel® Cryptography Primitives Library as a standalone component.

Environment variables are set up with a script called setvars or oneapi-vars, depending on which layout you are using.

To understand more about the Unified Directory Layout, including how the environment is initialized and the advantages of using the layout, see Use the setvars and oneapi-vars Scripts with Linux* or Use the setvars and oneapi-vars Scripts with Windows*.

By default, Intel® Cryptography Primitives Library is installed in this directory:

Unified Directory Layout

• On Windows* OS:

  C:/Program files (x86)/Intel/oneAPI/<toolkit-version> (on certain systems, instead of Program Files (x86), the directory name is Program Files)

• On Linux* OS:

  • admin: /opt/intel/oneapi/<toolkit-version>

  • user: ~/intel/oneapi/<toolkit-version>

Component Directory Layout

• On Windows* OS:

  C:/Program files (x86)/Intel/oneAPI (on certain systems, instead of Program Files (x86), the directory name is Program Files)

• On Linux* OS:

  • admin: /opt/intel/oneapi

  • user: ~/intel/oneapi
