# OpenVino Support

To use OpenVino runtimes, you have the option select it on plugin install for compatible hardware.\
\
If you want to preselect GPU or NPU runtimes, make sure you have the very latest Intel drivers and  libtbb installed on your machine.\
\
For the Intel drivers, follow:\
\
\-  For GPU:[ ](https://github.com/intel/compute-runtime/releases/tag/25.09.32961.5)<https://github.com/intel/compute-runtime/releases/tag/25.09.32961.5>\
\-  For NPU: <https://github.com/intel/linux-npu-driver/releases/tag/v1.16.0>

Also make sure you have the latest libtbb installed:

```
sudo apt install libtbb12 ocl-icd-libopencl1
```

Add the user to video and gender groups:

```
sudo usermod -aG video $USER

sudo usermod -aG render $USER
```

\
\
Then,  add `Environment="DEVICE_TYPE=GPU" vs Environment="DEVICE_TYPE=NPU"` to `/etc/systemd/system/networkoptix-metavms-mediaserver.service` under `[Service]:`

```
