Install from OSV package

Installation Steps

Media driver packages name are slightly different between SLES/RHEL rpm package and Ubuntu deb packages. The media-driver package depends on Libva and GmmLib which would be installed automatically once you install media-driver, so no need to explicitly install GmmLib and Libva.

Here is the component mapping table for different OSV distro.

Ubuntu

sudo apt install -y intel-media-va-driver-non-free vainfo

RHEL

sudo dnf --nogpgcheck install -y intel-media-driver libva-utils

SLES

sudo zypper --no-gpg-checks install -y intel-media-driver libva-utils

Validate media-driver

After media packages installed, there is a helpful application vainfo could provide basic media status. In SLES/RHEL packages, vainfo is combined in libva-utils rpm package. Here is an example on TGL Ubuntu system.
