Script Types
The AMDGPU stack offers the following script to help you install a coherent set of stack components:
amdgpu-install
This script supports a set of arguments that are explained in the following sections of this page.
Purpose
The amdgpu-install script does the following:
-
Simplifies the installation of the AMDGPU stack by encapsulating the distribution specific package installation logic and by using command line options that allow to specify the:

- Combination of components (in case of the Pro stack, or user selection)
-
Performs post-install checks to verify whether the installation was performed successfully.
-
Installs the uninstallation script to allow you to remove the whole AMDGPU stack from the system by using a single command.
The script is provided by the installer package.
Invoking the amdgpu-install Script
Once you have installed the installer package, invoke the script as amdgpu-install from a terminal.
Note
Use of the -y option is recommended to avoid prompts from the package manager.
Scenarios

There are two OpenCL implementations available:

You can either install one or both implementations.
