I’m writing this documentation because I believe that there will be someone out there who are having difficulties or doubt to install the Intel C++ Compiler 11.0

Good thing that Intel provides the FREE for Non-Commercial Software Development of the Intel C++ Compiler Professional 11.0 only for Linux users.

  1. download the package (it’s a tar.gz-file)
  2. unpack it (tar -xvzf filename.tar.gz)
  3. sudo ./install.sh

Add these to the .bashrc and .profile

# Intel Compiler
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/intel/Compiler/11.0/069/lib/ia32
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/intel/Compiler/11.0/069/bin/ia32

For the Linux newbie, note that both of .bashrc and .profile are hidden files, so you have to use View –> Show Hidden Files (CTRL + H) or ls -a to see them. They’re located in the /home/<username>/

  1. Restart
  2. Have fun! :)
