The AMDGPU installer documentation has been removed to encourage the use of the package manager for ROCm installation. While the package manager is the recommended method, you can still install ROCm using the AMDGPU installer by following the legacy process. Ensure to update the command with the intended ROCm version before running it.
To install ROCm, you can use the package manager. You can also opt for single-version or multi-version installation. These topics are described in detail in the following sections.
Installation methods#
Package manager#
The distribution’s package manager lets the user install, upgrade and uninstall using familiar commands and workflows. Third party ecosystem support is the same as your OS package manager. See Installation via native package manager for instructions based on the operating system.
Multi-version installation#
A multi-version ROCm installation handles situations where users need multiple versions of ROCm on the same machine for compatibility with different applications and hardware, testing, and other use cases. For instructions, see Installing multiple ROCm versions.
ROCm Offline Installer Creator#
The ROCm Offline Installer Creator creates an installation package for a preconfigured setup of ROCm, the AMDGPU driver, or a combination of the two on a target system without network or internet access. See ROCm Offline Installer Creator for instructions.
ROCm Runfile Installer#
The ROCm Runfile Installer lets you install ROCm without using a native Linux package management system. It can be used with or without network or internet access. See ROCm Runfile Installer for instructions.
