# Installation Prerequisites (Linux)
|
|
|
|
You must perform the following steps before installing ROCm and check if the
|
|
system meets all the requirements to proceed with the installation.
|
|
|
|
## Confirm the System Has a Supported Linux Distribution Version
|
|
|
|
The ROCm installation is supported only on specific Linux distributions and
|
|
kernel versions.
|
|
|
|
### Check the Linux Distribution and Kernel Version on Your System
|
|
|
|
This section discusses obtaining information about the Linux distribution and
|
|
kernel version.
|
|
|
|
#### Linux Distribution Information
|
|
|
|
Verify the Linux distribution using the following steps:
|
|
|
|
1. To obtain the Linux distribution information, type the following command on
|
|
your system from the Command Line Interface (CLI):
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
uname -m && cat /etc/*release
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. Confirm that the obtained Linux distribution information matches with those listed in {ref}`supported_distributions`.
|
|
|
|
**Example:** Running the command above on an Ubuntu system results in the
|
|
following output:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
x86_64
|
|
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
|
|
DISTRIB_RELEASE=20.04
|
|
DISTRIB_CODENAME=focal
|
|
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
(check-kernel-info)=
|
|
|
|
#### Kernel Information
|
|
|
|
Verify the kernel version using the following steps:
|
|
|
|
1. To check the kernel version of your Linux system, type the following command:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
uname -srmv
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. Confirm that the obtained kernel version information matches with System
|
|
Requirements.
|
|
|
|
**Example:** The output of the command above lists the kernel version in the
|
|
following format:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
Linux 5.15.0-46-generic #44~20.04.5-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jun 24 13:27:29 UTC 2022 x86_64
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Confirm the System has a ROCm-Capable GPU
|
|
|
|
The ROCm platform is designed to support the following GPUs:
|
|
|
|
```{table} GPU Support for ROCm Programming Models
|
|
:name: gpu-support
|
|
| **Classification** | **GPU Name** | **GFX ID** | **Product Id** |
|
|
|:------------------:|:-------------------------:|:----------:|:--------------:|
|
|
| **GFX9 GPUs** | AMD Radeon Instinct™ MI50 | gfx906 | Vega 20 |
|
|
| **GFX9 GPUs** | AMD Radeon Instinct™ MI60 | gfx906 | Vega 20 |
|
|
| **GFX9 GPUs** | AMD Radeon™ VII | gfx906 | Vega 20 |
|
|
| **GFX9 GPUs** | AMD Radeon™ Pro VII | gfx906 | Vega 20 |
|
|
| **RDNA GPUs** | AMD Radeon™ Pro W6800 | gfx1030 | Navi 21 GL-XL |
|
|
| **RDNA GPUs** | AMD Radeon™ Pro V620 | gfx1030 | Navi 21 GL-XE |
|
|
| **CDNA GPUs** | AMD Instinct™ MI100 | gfx908 | Arcturus |
|
|
| **CDNA GPUs** | AMD Instinct™ MI200 | gfx90a | Aldebaran |
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Verify Your System Has a ROCm-Capable GPU
|
|
|
|
To verify that your system has a ROCm-capable GPU, use these steps:
|
|
|
|
1. Enter the following command:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
lspci | grep -i display
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The command displays the details of detected GPUs on the system in the
|
|
following format in the case of AMD Instinct™ MI200:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
c1:00.0 Display controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Aldebaran
|
|
c5:00.0 Display controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Aldebaran
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. Verify from the output that the listed product names match with the Product
|
|
Id given in the table above.
|
|
|
|
### Setting Permissions for Groups
|
|
|
|
This section provides steps to add any current user to a video group to access
|
|
GPU resources.
|
|
|
|
1. To check the groups in your system, issue the following command:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
groups
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. Add yourself to the `render` or `video` group using the following instruction:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
sudo usermod -a -G render $LOGNAME
|
|
# OR
|
|
sudo usermod -a -G video $LOGNAME
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
3. Use of the video group is recommended for all ROCm-supported operating
|
|
systems.
|
|
|
|
To add all future users to the `video` and `render` groups by default, run the following commands:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
echo 'ADD_EXTRA_GROUPS=1' | sudo tee -a /etc/adduser.conf
|
|
echo 'EXTRA_GROUPS=video' | sudo tee -a /etc/adduser.conf
|
|
echo 'EXTRA_GROUPS=render' | sudo tee -a /etc/adduser.conf
|
|
```
