AMD SMI LIBRARY AND TOOL INSTALLATION

Note on GIM Package Installation:

Installing GIM from the package will automatically build and install the AMD SMI library and tool for the user. This automation eliminates the need for manual execution of the tool build and installation steps, simplifying the setup process.

• After GIM package installation, the libamdsmi.so library is located in the system library directory, which is /usr/local/lib/. This ensures that the library is accessible system-wide, allowing applications and tools to link against it without requiring additional configuration.

• The amd-smi tool will be installed in /usr/local/bin, making it available for execution from any directory in the terminal without needing to specify the full path.

If user prefers to manually build and install SMI library and tool from the source code, follow the steps in the following sections.

Installation commands

After a successful build of AMD SMI library and tool, the following commands will install them on the system:

AMD SMI library:

• Run sudo make install in the smi-lib folder to install the compiled library (libamdsmi.so) and the header file (amdsmi.h) to the system library folder (/usr/local/lib/) and system include folder (/usr/local/inc/), respectively.

• Run sudo make uninstall in the smi-lib folder to remove the installed library (libamdsmi.so) and header file (amdsmi.h) from the system library folder (/usr/local/lib/) and system include folder (/usr/local/inc/), respectively.

AMD SMI tool:

• Run sudo make install in the smi-lib/cli/cpp folder to install the compiled tool (amd-smi) to the system bin folder (/usr/local/bin/).

• Run sudo make uninstall in the smi-lib/cli/cpp folder to uninstall the installed tool (amd-smi) from the system bin folder (/usr/local/bin/).
