    Now that Intel officially supports OpenCL Runtime 16.1 on Ubuntu, you don't have to do these tricks to get it to install. Running "install.sh" or "install_GUI.sh" from the tarball downloaded in this script works just fine.

    Nice to know that this worked for you. I don't know why, but the install script won't run under ubuntu 16.04 for me :(
