Install Guide Ubuntu#
The easiest way to install Intel® Deep Learning Streamer (Intel® DL Streamer) Pipeline Framework is installation from Debian packages using APT repository. If you prefer containerized environment based on Docker, the Intel® DL Streamer Pipeline Framework Docker image is available as well as Dockerfile to build runtime Docker image. Regardless of chosen installations process, please follow prerequisites.
For detailed description of installation process, including the option with building Intel® DL Streamer Pipeline Framework from the source code provided in repository, please follow instructions in: Advanced Installation Guide
Prerequisites#
To use GPU and/or NPU as an inference devices or to use graphics hardware encoding/decoding capabilities, it is required to install appropriate drivers. Please use the script below to detect available device(s) and install these drivers. Please also pay attention to displayed information while the script has references to other Intel® resources when additional configuration is required.
Step 1: Download the prerequisites installation script#
mkdir -p ~/intel/dlstreamer_gst
cd ~/intel/dlstreamer_gst/
wget https://github.com/dlstreamer/dlstreamer/raw/master/scripts/DLS_install_prerequisites.sh
Step 2: Give the script execute permission#
sudo chmod +x DLS_install_prerequisites.sh
Step 3: Execute the script and follow its instructions#
./DLS_install_prerequisites.sh
Option #1: Install Intel® DL Streamer Pipeline Framework from Debian packages using APT repository#
This option provides the simplest installation flow using apt-get install command.
Step 1: Setup repositories#
sudo -E wget -O- https://apt.repos.intel.com/intel-gpg-keys/GPG-PUB-KEY-INTEL-SW-PRODUCTS.PUB | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/oneapi-archive-keyring.gpg > /dev/null
sudo wget -O- https://eci.intel.com/sed-repos/gpg-keys/GPG-PUB-KEY-INTEL-SED.gpg | sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/sed-archive-keyring.gpg > /dev/null
sudo echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/sed-archive-keyring.gpg] https://eci.intel.com/sed-repos/$(source /etc/os-release && echo $VERSION_CODENAME) sed main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sed.list
sudo bash -c 'echo -e "Package: *\nPin: origin eci.intel.com\nPin-Priority: 1000" > /etc/apt/preferences.d/sed'
## Ubuntu24 ##
sudo bash -c 'echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/oneapi-archive-keyring.gpg] https://apt.repos.intel.com/openvino/2024 ubuntu24 main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/intel-openvino-2024.list'
## Ubuntu22 ##
sudo bash -c 'echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/oneapi-archive-keyring.gpg] https://apt.repos.intel.com/openvino/2024 ubuntu22 main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/intel-openvino-2024.list'
Step 2: Install Intel® DL Streamer Pipeline Framework#
sudo apt update
sudo apt-get install intel-dlstreamer
Note
This step will also install the required dependencies, including OpenVINO™ Toolkit and GStreamer.
Check for installed packages and versions.
apt list --installed | grep intel-dlstreamer
Step 3: Run hello_dlstreamer script#
The script sets up the required environment variables and runs a sample pipeline to confirm that Intel® DL Streamer is installed correctly. During the first run, the script will download the YOLOv11s model from the Ultralytics website along with other required components and convert it to the OpenVINO™ format.
/opt/intel/dlstreamer/scripts/hello_dlstreamer.sh
Note
To set up Linux with the relevant environment variables every time a new terminal is opened, open ~/.bashrc and add the following lines:
export LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=iHD
export GST_PLUGIN_PATH=/opt/intel/dlstreamer/build/intel64/Release/lib:/opt/intel/dlstreamer/gstreamer/lib/gstreamer-1.0:/opt/intel/dlstreamer/gstreamer/lib/:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/intel/dlstreamer/gstreamer/lib:/opt/intel/dlstreamer/build/intel64/Release/lib:/opt/intel/dlstreamer/lib/gstreamer-1.0:/usr/lib:/opt/intel/dlstreamer/build/intel64/Release/lib:/opt/opencv:/opt/openh264:/opt/rdkafka:/opt/ffmpeg:/usr/local/lib/gstreamer-1.0:/usr/local/lib
export LIBVA_DRIVERS_PATH=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri
export GST_VA_ALL_DRIVERS=1
export PATH=/opt/intel/dlstreamer/gstreamer/bin:/opt/intel/dlstreamer/build/intel64/Release/bin:$PATH
Option #2: Install Docker image from Docker Hub and run it#
Step 1: Install Docker#
- Get Docker for your host OS
To prevent file permission issues please follow ‘Manage Docker as a non-root user’ section steps described here <https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/linux-postinstall/>
Step 2: Allow connection to X server#
Some Pipeline Framework samples use display. Hence, first run the following commands to allow connection from Docker container to X server on host:
xhost local:root
setfacl -m user:1000:r ~/.Xauthority
Step 3: Pull the Intel® DL Streamer Docker image from Docker Hub#
Visit <https://hub.docker.com/r/intel/dlstreamer/> Intel® DL Streamer image docker hub to select the most appropriate version. By default , the latest docker image points to Ubuntu24 version.
For Ubuntu 24.04 please use latest tag or specified version e.g. 2024.1.2-ubuntu24
docker pull intel/dlstreamer:latest
For Ubuntu 22.04 please specify tag e.g. 2024.1.2-ubuntu22
docker pull intel/dlstreamer:2024.1.2-ubuntu22
Step 4: Run Intel® DL Streamer Pipeline Framework container#
To confirm that your installation is completed successfully, please run a container
docker run -it --rm intel/dlstreamer:latest
In the container, please run the gst-inspect-1.0 gvadetect to confirm that GStreamer and Intel® DL Streamer are running
dlstreamer@ea6445a05788:~$ gst-inspect-1.0 gvadetect
If your can see the documentation of gvadetect element, the installation process is completed.
Step 5: Next steps - running sample Intel® DL Streamer pipelines#
You are ready to use Intel® DL Streamer. For further instructions to run sample pipeline(s), please go to: Tutorial
