Installing the Altera RTE for OpenCL

Install the RTE in a folder that you own.

Before you begin

You must have administrator privileges.
• To install the Altera Runtime Environment (RTE) for OpenCL as a stand-alone software, perform the

following tasks:
1. Run the

AOCLRTESetup-<version>-win64.exe

installer. Direct the installer to extract the software to an

empty folder that you own (that is, not a system folder).
The installation path must not contain any spaces (for example,

<home_directory>\altera\<version>\

aclrt-windows64

).

2. The installer sets the environment variable ALTERAOCLSDKROOT. Ensure that

ALTERAOCLSDKROOT points to the current version of the software.

Setting the Environment Variables for Windows

You have the option to set the RTE environment variables permanently or transiently. The environment

variable settings describe the FPGA board and the host runtime to the software.
