In this section, you learn how to unpack the downloaded tar archive and run the installation files to install all the software and files.

Install the Windows version of the Intel® FPGA SDK for OpenCL™ Standard Edition in a folder that you own.
You must have administrator privileges to execute these instructions.

To install the Intel® FPGA SDK for OpenCL™ , Intel® Quartus® Prime Standard Edition software, and device support files, perform the following tasks:

  1. Unpack the downloaded AOCL-<version>-<build>-windows.tar archive into a temporary folder.
  2. Run the setup.bat file to install the SDK with the Intel® Quartus® Prime Standard Edition software.
    Note: The installer sets the user environment variable INTELFPGAOCLSDKROOT to point to the path of the software installation.
  3. Verify that INTELFPGAOCLSDKROOT points to the current version of the software. Open a Windows command window and then type echo %INTELFPGAOCLSDKROOT% at the command prompt.
    If the returned path does not point to the location of the Intel® FPGA SDK for OpenCL™ installation, edit the INTELFPGAOCLSDKROOT setting.
