Install ONNX Runtime

See the installation matrix 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.

Contents

Requirements

  • All builds require the English language package with en_US.UTF-8 locale. On Linux, install language-pack-en package by running locale-gen en_US.UTF-8 and update-locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8

  • Windows builds require Visual C++ 2019 runtime. The latest version is recommended.

CUDA and CuDNN

For ONNX Runtime GPU package, it is required to install CUDA and cuDNN. Check CUDA execution provider requirements for compatible version of CUDA and cuDNN.

  • cuDNN 8.x requires ZLib. Follow the cuDNN 8.9 installation guide 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.

C#/C/C++/WinML Installs

Install ONNX Runtime

Install ONNX Runtime CPU 

# CPU
dotnet add package Microsoft.ML.OnnxRuntime

Install ONNX Runtime GPU (CUDA 12.x)

The default CUDA version for ORT is 12.x

# 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.
Add a nuget.config file to your project in the same directory as your .csproj file.

<?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>
  1. Restore packages

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

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 

dotnet add package Microsoft.ML.OnnxRuntime.DirectML

WinML 

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. 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) 

# install latest release version
npm install onnxruntime-web

# install nightly build dev version

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++ 

  use_frameworks!

  pod 'onnxruntime-c'

Objective-C 

  use_frameworks!

  pod 'onnxruntime-objc'

Run pod install.
