# Using CPU only

By default, Celantur Container requires a Nvidia GPU to offer the best performance. But in certain scenarios, access to GPUs might be limited or too expensive (e.g. cloud deployment).

By specifying the `--cpu-mode` parameter, only the CPU will be utilized to run Celantur Container.

```sh
bash celantur.sh --cpu-mode -a face -a license-plate --format whole
```
