The SDK is developed in C++11 and you'll need glibc 2.27+ on Linux and Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable(x64) - 14.0.24123 (any later version is ok) on Windows. You most likely already have these dependencies on you machine as almost every program require it.
If you're planning to use OpenVINO, then you'll need Intel C++ Compiler Redistributable (choose newest). Please note that OpenVINO is packaged in the SDK as plugin and loaded (dlopen) at runtime. The engine will fail to load the plugin if Intel C++ Compiler Redistributable is missing on your machine but the program will work as expected with Tensorflow as fallback. We highly recommend using OpenVINO to speedup the inference time. See benchmark numbers with/without OpenVINO at https://www.doubango.org/SDKs/anpr/docs/Benchmark.html#core-i7-windows.
To check if all dependencies are present:
- Windows x86_64: Use Dependency Walker on binaries/windows/x86_64/ultimateALPR-SDK.dll and binaries/windows/x86_64/ultimatePluginOpenVINO.dll if you're planning to use OpenVINO.
- Linux x86_64: Use
ldd <your-shared-lib>on binaries/linux/x86_64/libultimate_alpr-sdk.so and binaries/linux/x86_64/libultimatePluginOpenVINO.so if you're planning to use OpenVINO.
On Windows you may have The code execution cannot proceed because MSVCP140.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix the problem. message if Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable(x64) - 14.0.24123 is missing.
