# Install ONNX Runtime (ORT)

See the [installation matrix](https://onnxruntime.ai) for recommended instructions for desired combinations of target
operating system, hardware, accelerator, and language.

Details on OS versions, compilers, language versions, dependent libraries, etc can be found
under [Compatibility](../reference/compatibility).

## Contents

## Requirements

* All builds require the English language package with `en_US.UTF-8` locale. On Linux,
  install [language-pack-en package](https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=language-pack-en)
  by running `locale-gen en_US.UTF-8` and `update-locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8`

* Windows builds
  require [Visual C++ 2019 runtime](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads).
  The latest version is recommended.

### CUDA and CuDNN
For ONNX Runtime GPU package, it is required to install [CUDA](https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-toolkit) and [cuDNN](https://developer.nvidia.com/cudnn). Check [CUDA execution provider requirements](../execution-providers/CUDA-ExecutionProvider.md#requirements) for compatible version of CUDA and cuDNN.
* cuDNN 8.x requires ZLib. Follow the [cuDNN 8.9 installation guide](https://docs.nvidia.com/deeplearning/cudnn/archives/cudnn-890/install-guide/index.html) to install zlib in Linux or Windows. Note that the official gpu package does not support cuDNN 9.x.
* The path of CUDA bin directory must be added to the PATH environment variable. 
* In Windows, the path of cuDNN bin directory must be added to the PATH environment variable.

## Python Installs

### Install ONNX Runtime (ORT)

#### Install ONNX Runtime CPU

```bash
pip install onnxruntime
```

#### Install ONNX Runtime GPU (CUDA 12.x)
The default CUDA version for [onnxruntime-gpu in pypi](https://pypi.org/project/onnxruntime-gpu) is 12.x since 1.19.0.

```bash
pip install onnxruntime-gpu
```

For previous versions, you can download here: [1.18.1](https://aiinfra.visualstudio.com/PublicPackages/_artifacts/feed/onnxruntime-cuda-12/PyPI/onnxruntime-gpu/overview/1.18.1), [1.18.0](https://aiinfra.visualstudio.com/PublicPackages/_artifacts/feed/onnxruntime-cuda-12/PyPI/onnxruntime-gpu/overview/1.18.0)


#### Install ONNX Runtime GPU (CUDA 11.x)
For Cuda 11.x, please use the following instructions to install from [ORT Azure Devops Feed](https://aiinfra.visualstudio.com/PublicPackages/_artifacts/feed/onnxruntime-cuda-11/PyPI/onnxruntime-gpu/overview) for 1.19.2 or later.

```bash
pip install onnxruntime-gpu --extra-index-url https://aiinfra.pkgs.visualstudio.com/PublicPackages/_packaging/onnxruntime-cuda-11/pypi/simple/
```

For previous versions, you can download here: [1.18.1](https://pypi.org/project/onnxruntime-gpu/1.18.1/), [1.18.0](https://pypi.org/project/onnxruntime-gpu/1.18.0/)

#### Install ONNX Runtime GPU (ROCm)
For ROCm, please follow instructions to install it at the [AMD ROCm install docs](https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/install-on-linux/en/docs-6.0.0/). The ROCm execution provider for ONNX Runtime is built and tested with ROCm 6.0.0. 

To build from source on Linux, follow the instructions [here](https://onnxruntime.ai/docs/build/eps.html#amd-rocm).

### Install ONNX to export the model

```bash
## ONNX is built into PyTorch
pip install torch
```

```bash
## tensorflow
pip install tf2onnx
```

```bash
## sklearn
pip install skl2onnx
```

## C#/C/C++/WinML Installs

### Install ONNX Runtime (ORT)

#### Install ONNX Runtime CPU

```bash
# CPU
dotnet add package Microsoft.ML.OnnxRuntime
```

#### Install ONNX Runtime GPU (CUDA 12.x)

The default CUDA version for ORT is 12.x

```bash
# GPU
dotnet add package Microsoft.ML.OnnxRuntime.Gpu
```

#### Install ONNX Runtime GPU (CUDA 11.8)

1. Project Setup

Ensure you have installed the latest version of the Azure Artifacts keyring from the
its [Github Repo](https://github.com/microsoft/artifacts-credprovider#azure-artifacts-credential-provider). <br> Add
a nuget.config file to your project in the same directory as your .csproj file.

```xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
    <packageSources>
        <clear/>
        <add key="onnxruntime-cuda-11"
             value="https://aiinfra.pkgs.visualstudio.com/PublicPackages/_packaging/onnxruntime-cuda-11/nuget/v3/index.json"/>
    </packageSources>
</configuration>
```

2. Restore packages

Restore packages (using the interactive flag, which allows dotnet to prompt you for credentials)

```bash
dotnet add package Microsoft.ML.OnnxRuntime.Gpu
```

Note: You don't need --interactive every time. dotnet will prompt you to add --interactive if it needs updated
credentials.

#### DirectML

```bash
dotnet add package Microsoft.ML.OnnxRuntime.DirectML
```

#### WinML

```bash
dotnet add package Microsoft.AI.MachineLearning
```

## Install on web and mobile

The pre-built packages have full support for all ONNX opsets and operators.

If the pre-built package is too large, you can create a [custom build](../build/custom.md).
A custom build can include just the opsets and operators in your model/s to reduce the size.

### JavaScript Installs

#### Install ONNX Runtime Web (browsers)

```bash
# install latest release version
npm install onnxruntime-web

# install nightly build dev version
npm install onnxruntime-web@dev
```

#### Install ONNX Runtime Node.js binding (Node.js)

```bash
# install latest release version
npm install onnxruntime-node
```

#### Install ONNX Runtime for React Native

```bash
# install latest release version
npm install onnxruntime-react-native
```

### Install on iOS

In your CocoaPods `Podfile`, add the `onnxruntime-c` or `onnxruntime-objc` pod, depending on which API you want to use.

#### C/C++

  ```ruby
  use_frameworks!

  pod 'onnxruntime-c'
  ```

#### Objective-C

  ```ruby
  use_frameworks!

  pod 'onnxruntime-objc'
  ```

Run `pod install`.

#### Custom build

Refer to the instructions for creating a [custom iOS package](../build/custom.md#ios).

### Install on Android

#### Java/Kotlin

In your Android Studio Project, make the following changes to:

1. build.gradle (Project):

   ```gradle
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
   ```

2. build.gradle (Module):

    ```gradle
    dependencies {
        implementation 'com.microsoft.onnxruntime:onnxruntime-android:latest.release'
    }
    ```

#### C/C++

Download the [onnxruntime-android](https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.microsoft.onnxruntime/onnxruntime-android) AAR hosted at MavenCentral, change the file extension from `.aar` to `.zip`, and unzip it.
Include the header files from the `headers` folder, and the relevant `libonnxruntime.so` dynamic library from the `jni` folder in your NDK project.

#### Custom build

Refer to the instructions for creating a [custom Android package](../build/custom.md#android).

## Install for On-Device Training

Unless stated otherwise, the installation instructions in this section refer to pre-built packages designed to perform
on-device training.

If the pre-built training package supports your model but is too large, you can create
a [custom training build](../build/custom.md).

### Offline Phase - Prepare for Training

```bash
python -m pip install cerberus flatbuffers h5py numpy>=1.16.6 onnx packaging protobuf sympy setuptools>=41.4.0
pip install -i https://aiinfra.pkgs.visualstudio.com/PublicPackages/_packaging/ORT/pypi/simple/ onnxruntime-training-cpu
```
