Integration overview
This chapter explains how to install, configure, and operate the DENKflow SDK in real user environments from Python and C/C++.
Who this chapter is for
Use this chapter if you want to:
- run exported
.denkflowpipelines from the DENKweit Vision AI Hub - pick the right runtime for your hardware
- deploy on Intel, NVIDIA, or Windows GPU systems
- package your application in Docker
- build custom pipelines from
.denkmodelfiles in Python - integrate the SDK into native C or C++ applications through
denkflow.h
Fastest path to first inference
- Export a
.denkflowfile from the Vision AI Hub. - Request and activate a license.
- Install the SDK for your target runtime and language.
- Initialize a pipeline from the exported file.
- Publish an image, run the pipeline, and read the result.
Continue with Quick Start if you want the shortest path.
