Scripts to Set Environment Variables

When the installation of Intel MKL for Linux* OS is complete, set the INCLUDE, MKLROOT, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, MIC_LD_LIBRARY_PATH, MANPATH, LIBRARY_PATH, CPATH, and NLSPATH environment variables in the command shell using one of the script files in the bin subdirectory of the Intel MKL installation directory. The environment variable MIC_LD_LIBRARY_PATH specifies locations of shared objects for Intel® Many Integrated Core (Intel® MIC) Architecture.

Choose the script corresponding to your command shell:
