# This location is recommended by the distribution maintainers.
sudo mkdir --parents --mode=0755 /etc/apt/keyrings
# Download the key, convert the signing-key to a full
# keyring required by apt and store in the keyring directory

Install Drivers#

Install the amdgpu-dkms kernel module, aka driver, on your system.

sudo apt install amdgpu-dkms

sudo yum install amdgpu-dkms

sudo zypper install amdgpu-dkms

Install ROCm Runtimes#

Install the rocm-hip-libraries meta-package. This contains dependencies for most common ROCm applications.
