A driver implementation is necessary to properly operate. 8 9VA-API is an open-source library and API specification, which provides access to graphics hardware acceleration capabilities 10for video processing. It consists of a main library and driver-specific acceleration backends for each supported hardware vendor. 11 12If you would like to contribute to libva, check our [Contributing guide](https://github.com/intel/libva-utils/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md). 13 14We also recommend taking a look at the ['janitorial' bugs](https://github.com/intel/libva-utils/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3AJanitorial) in our list of open issues as these bugs can be solved without an extensive knowledge of libva-utils. 15 16We would love to help you start contributing! 17 18The libva-utils development team can be reached via github issues. 19 20# Build and Install Libva-utils 21 22### Install Libva 23You could refer to https://github.com/intel/libva to install Libva 24 25### Build Libva-utils 26Take latest libva-utils version: 27``` 28git clone https://github.com/intel/libva-utils.git 29cd libva-utils 30``` 31 32Build libva-utils by autogen.
