Applies to Linux

Three rocCV packages are available:

roccv: The rocCV runtime package. This is the basic rocCV package that only provides dynamic libraries. It must always be installed.

roccv-dev: The rocCV development package. This package installs a full suite of libraries, header files, and samples. This package needs to be installed to use samples.

roccv-test: A test package that provides CTests to verify the installation.

All the required prerequisites except for OpenCV and DLPack on RHEL and SLES are installed with the rocCV packages. OpenCV and DLPack must be installed manually on RHEL and SLES.

Basic installation

Use the following commands to install only the rocCV runtime package:

Ubuntu

sudo apt-get install roccv

RHEL

sudo yum install roccv

SLES

sudo zypper install roccv

Complete installation

Use the following commands to install roccv, roccv-dev, and roccv-test:

… tab-set:

.. tab-item:: Ubuntu

  .. code:: shell

    sudo apt-get install roccv roccv-dev roccv-test

.. tab-item:: RHEL

  .. code:: shell

    sudo yum install roccv roccv-devel roccv-test

.. tab-item:: SLES

Set PYTHONPATH to use the rocCV Python module:

export PYTHONPATH=/opt/rocm/lib:$PYTHONPATH

Add rocCV to your PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH:

export PATH=$PATH:/opt/rocm/bin
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/rocm/lib
