- The binaries for AMD64 will also work on processors that implement the Intel 64 architecture. (Also known as the 'x64' architecture, and formerly known as both 'EM64T' and 'x86-64'.) They will not work on Intel Itanium Processors (formerly 'IA-64').
- Windows users: If installing Python 3.5.1 as a non-privileged user, you may need to escalate to administrator privileges to install an update to your C runtime libraries.
- Windows users: There are now 'web-based' installers for Windows platforms; the installer will download the needed software components at installation time.
- Windows users: There are redistributable zip files containing the Windows builds, making it easy to redistribute Python as part of another software package. Please see the documentation regarding Embedded Distribution for more information.
- Windows users: Some virus scanners (most notably 'Microsoft Security Essentials') are flagging 'Lib/distutils/command/wininst-14.0.exe' as malware. This is a 'false positive': the file does not contain any malware. We build it ourselves, from source, on a known-clean system. We've asked that this false positive report be removed, and expect action soon. In the meantime, please don't be alarmed to see this warning when installing Python 3.5.2, or when scanning any earlier version of 3.5.
- OS X users: The OS X installers are now distributed as signed installer package files compatible with the OS X Gatekeeper security feature.
- OS X users: There is important information about IDLE, Tkinter, and Tcl/Tk on Mac OS X here.

Mendel Linux link
To flash your board with Mendel Linux, be sure you download the appropriate image from the following tables, for either the Dev Board or Dev Board Mini.
For information about Mendel changes, see the Mendel release notes.
Dev Board link

The following files include everything you need to flash the Dev Board ('Enterprise') with Mendel Linux.
Starting with the Eagle release, there is also a 'flashcard' image you can flash to a microSD card, which then automatically flashes Mendel onto the board. For instructions using the flashcard image, read Get started with the Dev Board.
For instructions using the other images, see how to flash the Dev Board.
System requirements:
- Coral Dev Board or System-on-Module

Mendel development tool (MDT) link
Mendel Development Tool (mdt
) is a Python-based command-line tool that lets you communicate with a device running Mendel Linux.
You can install it with pip as follows:
For details, see the MDT documentation.
Debian packages link
If you're using a Debian system (including Mendel on Coral boards), we recommend installing all software libraries with these Debian packages, instead of using the other pip or ZIP packages.
If you're on a Debian system other than a Coral board with Mendel, first add our package repos:
Then you can install packages from the below table like this:
apt-get upgrade
to ensure you get version-compatible builds of everything. Package name | Description | Supported systems1 |
---|---|---|
edgetpu-compiler | The Edge TPU Compiler. Note: Not available on Coral boards. |
|
libedgetpu1-max | The Edge TPU runtime. (Pre-installed on the Dev Board.) The separate versions affect only USB-based devices to determine the operating frequency: libedgetpu1-max runs at the maximum frequency (500 MHz) and libedgetpu1-std runs at the reduced frequency (250 MHz). For PCIe-based devices, both packages behave the same because the PCIe driver performs dynamic frequency scaling to adjust the operating frequency based on programmable temperature thresholds. |
|
libedgetpu1-std | ||
libedgetpu-dev | The edgetpu_c.h and edgetpu.h header files for running inference with C++. | |
gasket-dkms | Coral driver for PCIe-based Edge TPU devices, such as the M.2 and Mini PCIe Accelerator. |
|
python3-pycoral | The PyCoral API. Includes a dependency on python3-tflite-runtime and libedgetpu1-std (or libedgetpu1-max ).For code examples, see the GitHub repo. |
|
python3-tflite-runtime | The TensorFlow Lite Python runtime API. | |
python3-edgetpu | The Edge TPU Python API. Deprecated. Instead use python3-pycoral .This depends on a legacy version of libedgetpu1-std that's not compatible with newer libraries. |
|
edgetpu-examples | Code examples for the Edge TPU Python API. Saved in /usr/share/edgetpu/examples/ .Deprecated. Instead use python3-pycoral .This depends on a legacy version of libedgetpu1-std that's not compatible with newer libraries. | |
python3-coral-cloudiot | The Coral Cloud IoT API. |
|
python3-coral-enviro | The Coral Environmental Board API. Includes |
1 The 'supported systems' are system configurations we currently test, but the packages might work on other similar systems. You can also compile the Edge TPU runtime and Python library for your specific platform using our source code.
Edge TPU runtime link
The following ZIPs include the Edge TPU runtime for macOS and Windows, plus the USB and PCIe drivers required on Windows.
Mac Update Python 3
System requirements:
- Windows 10 or macOS 10.15 Catalina
- x86-64 system architecture
If you're using Debian Linux (including Mendel), you should instead install the Edge TPU runtime from our Debian packages.
Note: We periodically update the Edge TPU runtime with small changes such as to improve support for different host platforms, but the underlying runtime behavior remains the same. That's why the following table shows multiple ZIP packages with the same runtime version and different dates in the filename.You should always use the latest runtime, and be sure your models are compiled with the corresponding version of the Edge TPU Compiler.

The following Python wheels are for the PyCoral API.
If you're using Debian Linux (including Mendel), you should install this from our Debian package:

On other systems, you can install with pip:
Also be sure you have the latest version of the Edge TPU runtime.
