# SUSE\* 15 SP2

To install the latest general purpose GPU (GPGPU) software packages on
SUSE 15 SP2, add the Intel(R) software package repository and
install the appropriate packages.

## Add package repository

To install the **repositories.intel.com/graphics** package repository, add the
following to your SLES installation. Prior to copy/pasting to your console,
you may want to run `sudo ls` and enter your password to prevent the commands
from being swallowed by the sudo password prompt:

```bash
sudo zypper addrepo -r \
  https://repositories.intel.com/graphics/sles/15sp2/intel-graphics.repo
```

## Install run-time packages

After adding the repository, you can install the GPU software packages by
running the following:

```bash
sudo zypper update
sudo zypper install \
  intel-opencl \
  intel-media-driver libmfx1 \
  intel-level-zero-gpu level-zero
```

While accessing the repository for the first time, you may be prompted to
accept the package signing key. Answer 'a' to 'trust always' the key.

### OPTIONAL: Install developer packages

If you will be doing development, you may want to install optional development
packages. oneAPI users will need to install these packages for some of the
oneAPI tools to function correctly:

```bash
sudo zypper install \
  libigdfcl-devel \
  intel-igc-cm \
  libigfxcmrt-devel \
  level-zero-devel
```

### Configuring permissions

To access GPGPU capabilities, a user needs to have the correct 
permissions. The following will list the group assigned ownership of the 
render nodes, and list the groups the active user is a member of:

```bash
stat -c "%G" /dev/dri/render*
groups ${USER}
```

If a group is listed for the render node which isn't listed for the user,
you will need to add the user to the group using gpasswd. In the following,
the active user will be added to the 'video' group and a new shell spawned
with that group active:

```bash
sudo gpasswd -a ${USER} video
newgrp video
```

## Known issues

### Unable to find OpenCL*

If you are installing libOpenCL1 from Tumbleweed, the OpenCL ICD loader 
recently changed the location for vendor files from [/etc/OpenCL to 
/usr/share/OpenCL][1]. The intel-opencl package above currently installs 
to /etc/OpenCL. To work with the updated vendor location, you need to 
copy the vendor file to /user/share/OpenCL after installing the 
intel-opencl package:

```bash
if [[ ! -d /usr/share/OpenCL/vendors ]]; then
  sudo mkdir -p /usr/share/OpenCL/vendors
fi
sudo cp /etc/OpenCL/vendors/intel.icd /usr/share/OpenCL/vendors/intel.icd
```
