This guide provides installation and uninstallation procedures for the AMDGPU
stack.
Note
The rest of this document will refer to Radeon™ Software for Linux®
as the AMDGPU stack.
Note
Some components, such as OpenCL, are provided by the ROCm stack. For
simplicity, this subset of ROCm will be included in the use of the term
“AMDGPU stack”. Please see the
ROCm documentation for further
information on other ROCm components.
There are two major use cases available for installation:
- Workstation: recommended for use with Radeon Pro graphics products.
- All-Open: recommended for use with consumer products.

You can install a combination of stack components using the amdgpu-install
script by appending comma separated selections to --vulkan, --opencl,
or --usecase, such as:
$ amdgpu-install --usecase=graphics,opencl
See amdgpu-install -h for more options or amdgpu-install --list-usecase
for more available usecases.
Note
Starting with the 21.40 release, amdgpu-install has changed and
some options available in previous releases have been removed.
amdgpu-pro-install has been dropped, but the following equivalent
command can be used instead:
amdgpu-install --usecase=workstation --vulkan=pro.
Note
- When installing the All-Open use case using amdgpu-install script,
every component from the All-Open stack will be installed. There is no
supported way to install arbitrary combinations of these components when
using amdgpu-install but you can use the system package manager to do
so.
- When installing any Proprietary components for the first time, the
user will be prompted with the End User License Agreement (“EULA”) and
asked to accept. To allow for non-interactive install, the option
--accept-eula can be appended to amdgpu-install, but using this
option will prevent the proprietary packages or updates from being
accessible directly with the system package manager. By using the
--accept-eula option, you are confirming that you have read and
agreed to be bound by the terms and conditions of the EULA
(/usr/share/amdgpu-insall/AMDGPUPROEULA) for use of AMD Proprietary
components
- 32-bit graphics runtime libraries are automatically installed when
installation is performed using amdgpu-install script. The addition of
the “–no-32” option can be used to exclude these runtime libraries.
