Setting Environment Variables

When the installation of Intel® Cryptography Primitives Library is complete, set the environment variables in the command shell using one of the script files in the appropriate directory of the Unified Directory Layout or the Component Directory Layout. To learn more about these directory layouts, see Finding Intel® Cryptography Primitives Library on Your System.

Unified Directory Layout

• On Windows* OS:

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

• On Linux* OS:

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

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

Component Directory Layout Use the vars files located in the bin subdirectory of the Intel® Cryptography Primitives Library installation directory:

On Windows* OS:

vars.bat

for the Intel® 64 architecture.

On Linux* OS:

Shell	Script File
C	vars.csh
Bash	vars.sh

When using the vars script, you need to specify the architecture as a parameter. For example:

• vars.bat intel64

  sets the environment for Intel® Cryptography Primitives Library to use the Intel® 64 architecture on Windows* OS.

• . vars.sh intel64

  sets the environment for Intel® Cryptography Primitives Library to use the Intel® 64 architecture on Linux* OS.

The scripts set the following environment variables:

Windows* OS	Linux* OS	Purpose
IPPCRYPTOROOT	IPPCRYPTOROOT	Point to the Intel® Cryptography Primitives Library installation directory
LIB	n/a	Add the search path for the Intel® Cryptography Primitives Library single-threaded libraries
PATH	LD_LIBRARY_PATH	Add the search path for the Intel® Cryptography Primitives Library single-threaded DLLs
INCLUDE	n/a	Add the search path for the Intel® Cryptography Primitives Library header files
