# OpenVINO™ Python* development tools
## General
OpenVINO includes following tools:
* openvino.tools.benchmark
Please, refer to https://docs.openvinotoolkit.org for details.
## Installation
### Prerequisites
Install prerequisites first:
#### 1. Python
Install **Python** prerequisites:
- [Python3][python3]
- [setuptools][setuptools]
Run following command to install these prerequisites on Ubuntu*:
```bash
sudo apt-get install python3 python3-dev python3-setuptools python3-pip
```
Python setuptools and python package manager (pip) install packages into system directory by default. There are several options:
- work inside [virtual environment][virtualenv] (best solution).
- use `--user` option for all `pip` commands.
- install all dependencies with *sudo* permissions.
In order to use virtual environment you should install it:
```bash
python3 -m pip install virtualenv
python3 -m virtualenv -p `which python3` <directory_for_environment>
```
Before starting to work inside virtual environment, it should be activated:
```bash
source <directory_for_environment>/bin/activate
```
Virtual environment can be deactivated using command
```bash
deactivate
```
#### 2. Install packages
You can install tools by specifying path to tool with `setup.py` in `pip install` command:
```bash
python3 -m pip install <tools_folder>/
```
For example, to install Benchmark Tool, use the following command:
```bash
python3 -m pip install benchmark_tool/
```
