Install OpenVINO™ Runtime via Homebrew#

Note

Recent OpenVINO releases are currently unavailable via Homebrew due to an issue with protobuf in the internal Homebrew CI infrastructure. This affects the ability to build and publish formula updates. The upstream issue is actively monitored, and availability will be restored as soon as it is resolved.

Until then, use the S3 archive as an alternative to Homebrew on Linux and macOS. For more information, see Linux Installation Guide and macOS Installation Guide.

Note

Note that the Homebrew distribution:

  • offers both C/C++ and Python APIs

  • does not offer support for NPU inference

  • is dedicated to macOS (both arm64 and x86_64) and Linux (x86_64 only) users.

Before installing OpenVINO, see the System Requirements page.
