Applies to Linux

ROCm must be installed before building and installing rocCV from source code.

The rocCV source code is available from ROCm/rocCV. Use the rocCV version that corresponds to the installed version of ROCm.

You can use the rocCV-setup.py setup script to install most prerequisites:

python3 rocCV-setup.py [-h] [--rocm_path ROCM_PATH; default /opt/rocm]

Note

OpenCv and DLPack must be installed manually on SLES and RHEL.

To build and install rocCV, create the build directory under the rocCV root directory:

mkdir build

Change directory to build and use the cmake command to generate a makefile:

cd build
cmake ../

Build rocCV using cmake:

cmake --build . --parallel

Use make to install rocCV:

sudo make install

You can optionally create deb, rpm, and gzip packages for distribution:

sudo make package

Run ctest in the build directory to verify the installation.
