For certain use cases, you may need to install additional software, to benefit from the full potential of OpenVINO™. Check the following list for components used in your workflow:

| GPU drivers | If you want to run inference on a GPU, make sure your GPU's drivers are properly installed. See the :doc:guide on GPU configuration <configurations/configurations-intel-gpu> for details.

| NPU drivers | Intel's Neural Processing Unit introduced with the Intel® Core™ Ultra generation of CPUs (formerly known as Meteor Lake), is a low-power solution for offloading neural network computation. If you want to run inference on an NPU, make sure your NPU's drivers are properly installed. See the :doc:guide on NPU configuration <configurations/configurations-intel-npu> for details.

| OpenVINO GenAI Dependencies | OpenVINO GenAI is a tool based on the OpenVNO Runtime but simplifying the process of running generative AI models. For information on the dependencies required to use OpenVINO GenAI, see the :doc:guide on OpenVINO GenAI Dependencies <configurations/genai-dependencies>.

| Open Computer Vision Library | OpenCV is used to extend the capabilities of some models, for example enhance some of OpenVINO samples, when used as a dependency in compilation. To install OpenCV for OpenVINO, see the instructions on GtHub <https://github.com/opencv/opencv/wiki/BuildOpenCV4OpenVINO>__.
