# Optional: Build TensorFlow Lite Runtime

Source: [https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-70014-54/topic/build-qualcomm-linux-and-install-tensorflow-lite-runtime.html](https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-70014-54/topic/build-qualcomm-linux-and-install-tensorflow-lite-runtime.html)

Note: TensorFlow Lite Runtime and its libraries are built as part of
            the Qualcomm Linux build along with the Qualcomm Intelligent Multimedia Product (QIMP)
            SDK. You only need to build Qualcomm Linux in some situations, for example if you want
            to change the TensorFlow Lite Runtime library version. Therefore, this is an optional
            step.

You can recompile TensorFlow Lite as part of the Qualcomm Linux build along with the QIMP
            SDK. For instructions, see [Qualcomm Linux Build Guide](bundle/publicresource/topics/80-70014-254).

- **[Build Qualcomm Linux](https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-70014-54/topic/build-qualcomm-linux.html)**  

You can build Qualcomm Linux using the GUI-based Qualcomm Software Center (QSC)         launcher, QSC command-line interface (CLI), or the GitHub workflow.
- **[Install TensorFlow Lite Runtime](https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-70014-54/topic/install-tensorflow-lite-runtime.html)**  

To install TensorFlow Lite Runtime, flash the images. The flashing process installs         user space images, QIMP SDK, TensorFlow Lite Runtime artifacts, and         dependencies.
