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.

C#/C/C++/WinML Installs

Install ONNX Runtime (ORT)

Install ONNX Runtime CPU 

# CPU
dotnet add package Microsoft.ML.OnnxRuntime

Install ONNX Runtime GPU (CUDA 11.x)

The default CUDA version for ORT is 11.8

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

Install ONNX Runtime GPU (CUDA 12.x)

  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-12"
             value="https://aiinfra.pkgs.visualstudio.com/PublicPackages/_packaging/onnxruntime-cuda-12/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

Unless stated otherwise, the installation instructions in this section refer to pre-built packages that include support for selected operators and ONNX opset versions based on the requirements of popular models. These packages may be referred to as “mobile packages”. If you use mobile packages, your model must only use the supported opsets and operators.

Another type of pre-built package has full support for all ONNX opsets and operators, at the cost of larger binary size. These packages are referred to as “full packages”.

If the pre-built mobile package supports your model/s but 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.

If the pre-built mobile package does not include the opsets or operators in your model/s, you can either use the full package if available, or create a custom build.

JavaScript Installs

Install ONNX Runtime Web (browsers) 

# 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) 

# install latest release version
npm install onnxruntime-node

Install ONNX Runtime for React Native 

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

Install on iOS

In your CocoaPods Podfile, add the onnxruntime-c, onnxruntime-mobile-c, onnxruntime-objc, or onnxruntime-mobile-objc pod, depending on whether you want to use a full or mobile package and which API you want to use.

C/C++ 

  use_frameworks!

  # choose one of the two below:
  pod 'onnxruntime-c'  # full package
  #pod 'onnxruntime-mobile-c'  # mobile package

Objective-C 

  use_frameworks!

  # choose one of the two below:
  pod 'onnxruntime-objc'  # full package
  #pod 'onnxruntime-mobile-objc'  # mobile package

Run pod install.

Custom build

Refer to the instructions for creating a custom iOS package.

Install on Android

Java/Kotlin

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

  1. build.gradle (Project):

     repositories {
     mavenCentral()
 }

  2. build.gradle (Module):

     dependencies {
     // choose one of the two below:
     implementation 'com.microsoft.onnxruntime:onnxruntime-android:latest.release'  // full package
     //implementation 'com.microsoft.onnxruntime:onnxruntime-mobile:latest.release'  // mobile package
 }

C/C++

Download the onnxruntime-android ( full package) or onnxruntime-mobile ( mobile package) 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.

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.
