OpenVINO™ Toolkit - Prebuilt ARM CPU plugin

Prebuilt openvino python package with the openvino arm cpu extension for MacOS. Currently only MacOS 11 and 12 with arm64 is supported.

Install

To install the prebuilt packages from PyPi, use the following command. The package is called openvino-arm but is a drop-in-replacement for the openvino package.

pip install openvino-arm

Requirements.txt

To use this library version in a requirements.txt it is recommended to use the following structure.

openvino-arm; platform_system == "Darwin" and platform.machine == 'arm64'

Numpy Dependency

OpenVINO still depends on numpy version <1.20 which has no prebuilt Apple silicon binaries ready. Pip tries to download and build it from source, which can fail on an Apple silicon Mac. Because of that the dependency condition has been excluded from this build. OpenVINO runs with deprecation warnings together with numpy 1.22.

Build

To build the libraries yourself, please first install the following dependencies and run the build script.

brew install ninja wget git-lfs

./build-macos.sh

The pre-built wheel packages should be in the dist directory.
