## Installation Instructions

Download the release version of Kunpeng Accelerator Engine Driver from:

<https://github.com/kunpengcompute/KAEdriver>


Note: To build the Kunpeng Accelerator Engine Driver, install the `kernel-devel` package first.

Firstly, install the accelerator driver:

```
cd kae_driver
make
make install
modprobe uacce
modprobe hisi_qm
modprobe hisi_sec2
modprobe hisi_hpre
modprobe hisi_zip
modprobe hisi_rde
```

Check whether the accelerator driver has been loaded successfully by running the `lsmod` command. 

`uacce.ko, hisi_qm.ko, sgl.ko, hisi_sec2.ko, hisi_hpre.ko, hisi_zip.ko` should be in the list. 

Secondly, install the warpdrive:

```
cd warpdrive
sh autogen.sh 
./configure 
make 
make install
```
Check whether the accelerator driver has been loaded successfully by running the `ls -al /usr/local/lib` command. `libwd.so` should be in the list.
