Installing or Uninstalling AMDGPU

Installing the All-Open Variant ¶

Run the following command to install the All-Open variant:

$ ./amdgpu-install -y

Note

The -y option installs non-interactively. See Using the amdgpu-install script for more information.

Reboot the target system after running amdgpu-install.

Installing the Pro Variant ¶

Refer to the following table to understand how to install a combination of Pro components:

Command	Installed Components
`$ ./amdgpu-pro-install -y`	Base kernel Accelerated graphics Mesa multimedia Pro OpenGL Pro Vulkan
`$ ./amdgpu-pro-install -y --opencl=pal,legacy`	Base kernel Accelerated graphics Mesa multimedia Pro OpenGL Pro Vulkan Pro OpenCL
`$ ./amdgpu-pro-install -y --opencl=pal,legacy --headless`	Only base kernel Pro OpenCL (headless mode)

Reboot the target system after running amdgpu-pro-install.

For more information, refer to the following sections to understand how to install individual components.

OpenGL (Default Component)¶

OpenGL is a default component of the Pro variant.

Note

Unless a headless installation is requested, OpenGL is installed.

OpenCL (Optional Component)¶

OpenCL is an optional component of the Pro variant and is installed only if it is specifically requested.

Two different implementations of OpenCL (legacy and PAL) are provided. Either of these implementations or both of them can be installed on the target system.

In some scenarios, it may be desirable to install only the OpenCL portion of the Pro variant (omitting the OpenGL portion), which can be accomplished by adding the --headless option. The typical use case is headless compute.

Vulkan (Default Component)¶

Vulkan is a default component of the Pro variant.

Note

Unless a headless installation is requested, Vulkan is installed.

PX Platform Support (Ubuntu only)¶

Note

PX is deprecated in the latest version of the AMDGPU Graphics Stack. The All-Open variant with PRIME GPU offloading is recommend for all mobile variants with hybrid graphics, which allows GPU workloads to be offloaded to a discrete GPU on demand.

For PX (PowerExpress) platform support, use the --px option as shown in the following command:

$ ./amdgpu--pro-install --px

Uninstalling the AMDGPU Graphics Stack ¶

To remove all components of the stack, run the uninstall script from anywhere in the system.

Based on whether you installed the All-Open or Pro components, run one of the following commands:

# Use this for All-Open components
$ amdgpu-uninstall

# Use this for Pro components
$ amdgpu-pro-uninstall

After uninstalling the components, reboot the target system.
