Applies to Linux

Before you begin, verify that your system is supported. For more information, see ROCm Core SDK components.

For advanced workflows, source builds, or custom configurations, see Build and install rocJPEG from source.

Install the ROCm Core SDK#

rocJPEG is included with the ROCm Core SDK on Linux. For the most complete installation, we recommend that developers use the amdrocm-core-sdk meta package.

For instructions, see Install AMD ROCm. Use the selector panel on that page to view instructions appropriate for your system environment.

Install rocJPEG on Linux#

Alternatively, if you want to install rocJPEG as part of the ROCm JPEG package (a subset of the ROCm Core SDK amdrocm-core-sdk) without additional ROCm libraries and tools, install the amdrocm-jpeg package. This includes the ROCm runtime and system dependencies.

  1. Complete the ROCm installation prerequisites to install dependencies and configure GPU access permissions.

  2. Install the ROCm JPEG package that matches your desired ROCm version. Package names use the following format:

    amdrocm-jpeg-<dev/devel><rocm_version>

    Where:

    • <dev/devel> specifies whether to install library files and headers. Omit this suffix to only install runtime packages.

      • -dev is used on Debian-based distributions, including Ubuntu.

      • -devel is used on RPM-based distributions, including RHEL and SLES.

    • <rocm_version> is the ROCm Core SDK version to install. Omit this suffix to install the latest available version.

    For example, to install the latest ROCm JPEG package release for supported GPU architectures:

    sudo apt install amdrocm-jpeg-dev

    sudo dnf install amdrocm-jpeg-devel

    sudo zypper install amdrocm-jpeg-devel

Install a nightly build#

The TheRock build system also publishes nightly builds for the ROCm Core SDK and its components, including rocJPEG. See Nightly release status for details.
