installation.
If applicable, run the following command to install essential packages:
.. selected:: os=ubuntu os=debian
.. selected:: i=pkgman
.. code-block:: bash
apt update
apt install sudo wget
.. selected:: i=pip
.. code-block:: bash
apt update

1. Remove any existing HIP SDK for Windows installations and other
conflicting AMD graphics software. To uninstall the HIP SDK using the
GUI, navigate to the following screen:
* Control Panel > Programs > Uninstall a program

download link, see `AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.1.1
<https://www.amd.com/en/resources/support-articles/release-notes/RN-RAD-WIN-26-1-1.html#Downloads>`__.
3. Disable the following Windows security features as they can interfere
with ROCm functionality:
* Turn off WDAG (Windows Defender Application Guard)
* Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features > Turn Windows
features on or off > **Clear** “Microsoft Defender Application
Guard”

.. =================================================== GPU ACCESS PERMISSIONS ==
.. selected:: os=ubuntu os=debian os=rhel os=oracle-linux os=rocky-linux os=sles
:heading: Configure permissions for GPU access
:heading-level: 3
There are two primary methods of configuring GPU access for ROCm: group
membership or udev rules. Each method has its own advantages. The choice
depends on your specific requirements and system management preferences.
.. tab-set::
.. tab-item:: Group membership
By default, GPU access is controlled by membership in the ``video`` and
``render`` Linux system groups. The ``video`` group traditionally handles
video device access, while the ``render`` group manages GPU rendering
through DRM render nodes.
.. code-block:: bash
# Add the current user to the render and video groups
sudo usermod -a -G render,video $LOGNAME
.. tab-item:: udev rules
udev rules are a flexible, system-wide approach for managing device
permissions, eliminating the need for user group management while
allowing granular GPU access. To enable them and grant GPU access to
all users, run the following command:
.. code-block:: bash
sudo tee /etc/udev/rules.d/70-amdgpu.rules << EOF
KERNEL=="kfd", GROUP="render", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEM=="drm", KERNEL=="renderD*", GROUP="render", MODE="0666"
EOF
sudo udevadm control --reload-rules
sudo udevadm trigger
.. note::
To apply all settings, reboot your system.
