| Accelerator                                                                                                            | Installation                                                                 |

| [Intel Neural Compressor (INC)](https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/tools/oneapi/neural-compressor.html) | `pip install --upgrade --upgrade-strategy eager "optimum[neural-compressor]"`|
| [Intel OpenVINO](https://docs.openvino.ai )                                                                            | `pip install --upgrade --upgrade-strategy eager "optimum[openvino]"`         |
| [Intel Extension for PyTorch](https://intel.github.io/intel-extension-for-pytorch/#introduction)                       | `pip install --upgrade --upgrade-strategy eager "optimum[ipex]"`         |

The `--upgrade-strategy eager` option is needed to ensure `optimum-intel` is upgraded to the latest version.

We recommend creating a [virtual environment](https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/guides/installing-using-pip-and-virtual-environments/#creating-a-virtual-environment) and upgrading pip with :
```bash
python -m pip install --upgrade pip
```

Optimum Intel is a fast-moving project, and you may want to install from source with the following command:

```bash
python -m pip install git+https://github.com/huggingface/optimum-intel.git
```

or to install from source including dependencies:

```bash
python -m pip install "optimum-intel[extras]"@git+https://github.com/huggingface/optimum-intel.git
```

where `extras` can be one or more of `neural-compressor`, `openvino`, `ipex`.
