# Run sample applications

Qualcomm^®^ Linux^®^ has various sample applications. Each application is suited for different use cases such as retail, Qualcomm^®^ Edge AI Box Solutions, and IP camera. The sample applications can be categorized as follows:

- Multimedia sample applications, which show camera, video, and audio functionalities.
- AI sample applications, which show AI and machine learning (ML) capabilities.

You can run these sample applications using one of the following:

[Use the Qualcomm Visual Code Extension](https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-70020-261/topic/iq9-run-apps-using-ide.html#iq9-run-apps-using-ide)

Run sample applications on the evaluation kit using an integrated application development environment for Qualcomm evaluation kits.

[Use a host computer](https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-70020-261/topic/iq9-run-apps-using-host.html#iq9-run-apps-using-host)

Run sample application on the evaluation kit using a host computer with Windows, Ubuntu, or mac operating system.
