Rocky Linux native installation#

Caution

Ensure that the Redirecting… are met.

Note

The following installation steps also apply when upgrading from a previous ROCm version.

Registering ROCm repositories#

Rocky 9.7

sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/rocm.repo <<EOF
[rocm]
name=ROCm 7.2.4 repository
baseurl=https://repo.radeon.com/rocm/el9/7.2.4/main
enabled=1
priority=50
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://repo.radeon.com/rocm/rocm.gpg.key

[amdgraphics]
name=AMD Graphics 7.2.4 repository
baseurl=https://repo.radeon.com/graphics/7.2.4/el/9.7/main/x86_64/

Installing#

Install kernel driver#

For information about the AMDGPU driver installation, see the Rocky Linux native installation in the AMD Instinct Data Center GPU Documentation.

For information about driver compatibility, see Redirecting….

Install ROCm#

sudo dnf install rocm

ROCm installation can be tailored to your requirements using one more combinations of ROCm meta packages:

To use pre-built ROCm libraries and tools, include ROCm runtime packages in the installation step.
To develop and build individual ROCm libraries and tools, include ROCm developer packages in the installation step.

ROCm runtime packages#

Meta package	Description	Legacy use case [1]
`rocm`	All ROCm core packages, tools, and libraries.	`rocm`
`rocm-hip-libraries`	HIP libraries optimized for the AMD platform.	Legacy use case does not exist.
