Table of Contents


This guide provides installation and uninstallation procedures for the AMDGPU graphics and compute stack.

Note

The rest of this document will refer to Radeon™ Software for Linux® as AMDGPU.


Stack Variants

There are two major stack variants available for installation:

  • Pro: recommended for use with Radeon Pro graphics products.
  • All-Open: recommended for use with consumer products.
Installing Option Components
All-Open Stack
  • Base kernel drivers
  • Base accelerated graphics drivers
  • Mesa OpenGL
  • Mesa multimedia
Pro Stack
  • Base kernel drivers
  • Base accelerated graphics drivers
  • Mesa multimedia
  • Pro OpenGL
  • Pro OpenCL
    • PAL OpenCL stack (supports Vega 10 and later products)
    • Legacy OpenCL stack (supports legacy products older than Vega 10)
  • Pro Vulkan

You can install a combination of stack components using the amdgpu-install script, as listed in the following:

  • Base kernel and accelerated graphics drivers + Pro OpenGL + Pro Vulkan
  • Base kernel and accelerated graphics drivers + Pro OpenGL + Pro Vulkan + Pro OpenCL
  • Base kernel and accelerated graphics drivers + Pro OpenCL
  • Base kernel drivers (no accelerated graphics drivers) + Pro OpenCL (headless mode)

Note

  • When installing the All-Open stack 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.
  • 32-bit libraries are automatically installed with Pro OpenGL component when installation is performed using amdgpu-install script.
