The ia command-line tool from Intel simplifies managing oneAPI toolkits on Linux and Windows.

It enables discovering, installing, updating, verifying, and uninstalling components like Base Toolkit, HPC Toolkit, and AI Analytics Toolkit.

Users can search repositories, list local installations, handle dependencies automatically, and integrate with package managers such as apt or conda.

Designed for developers targeting Intel CPUs, GPUs, and FPGAs, it supports DPC++/SYCL, oneMKL, oneDPL, and more.

Global options control verbosity, EULA acceptance, and update checks. Subcommands like install, list, and verify provide targeted functionality. Requires internet for downloads; system-wide installs need root privileges.

Ideal for high-performance computing, AI, and data science workflows on compatible systems.

Internet required for installs/updates; use sudo for system-wide; OS-specific (e.g., Ubuntu 20.04+); not for production without verification.

ia install <package>
ia list
ia uninstall <package>
ia verify -i <install-dir>

sudo ia install oneapi-basekit
Downloads and installs Base Toolkit.

ia list
Shows installed components.

Launched in 2020 with Intel oneAPI Beta; evolved for unified toolkit distribution across Intel architectures.
