# Package Manager Integration

This section provides information about the required meta-packages for the
following AMD ROCm programming models:

- Heterogeneous-Computing Interface for Portability (HIP)
- OpenCL™
- OpenMP™

## ROCm Package Naming Conventions

A meta-package is a grouping of related packages and dependencies used to
support a specific use case.

**Example:** Running HIP applications

All meta-packages exist in both versioned and non-versioned forms.

- Non-versioned packages – For a single-version installation of the ROCm stack
- Versioned packages – For multi-version installations of the ROCm stack

ROCm Release Package Naming
```

{numref}`package-naming` demonstrates the single and multi-version ROCm packages' naming
structure, including examples for various Linux distributions. See terms below:

_Module_ - It is the part of the package that represents the name of the ROCm
component.

**Example:** The examples mentioned in the image represent the ROCm HIP module.

_Module version_ - It is the version of the library released in that package. It
should increase with a newer release.

_Release version_ - It shows the ROCm release version when the package was
released.

**Example:** `50400` points to the ROCm 5.4.0 release.

_Build id_ - It represents the Jenkins build number for that release.

_Arch_ - It shows the architecture for which the package was created.

_Distro_ - It describes the distribution for which the package was created. It is
valid only for rpm packages.

**Example:** `el8` represents RHEL 8.x packages.

## Components of ROCm Programming Models

{numref}`meta-packages` demonstrates the high-level layered architecture of ROCm
programming models and their meta-packages. All meta-packages are a combination
of required packages and libraries.

**Example:**

- `rocm-hip-runtime` is used to deploy on supported machines to execute HIP
  applications.
- `rocm-hip-sdk` contains runtime components to deploy and execute HIP
  applications.

ROCm Meta Packages
```

```{note}
`rocm-llvm` is not a meta-package but a single package that installs the ROCm
clang compiler files.
```

## Packages in ROCm Programming Models

This section discusses the available meta-packages and their packages. The
following image visualizes the meta-packages and their associated packages in a
ROCm programming model.

Associated Packages
```

- Meta-packages can include another meta-package.
- `rocm-core` package is common across all the meta-packages.
- Meta-packages and associated packages are represented in the same color.

```{note}
{numref}`assoc-packages` is for informational purposes only, as the individual
packages in a meta-package are subject to change. Install meta-packages, and not
individual packages, to avoid conflicts.
