Ubuntu native installation#

Caution

Ensure that the Installation prerequisites are met before installing.

Registering ROCm repositories#

Package signing key#

Download and convert the package signing key.

# Make the directory if it doesn't exist yet.
# This location is recommended by the distribution maintainers.
sudo mkdir --parents --mode=0755 /etc/apt/keyrings

# Download the key, convert the signing-key to a full
# keyring required by apt and store in the keyring directory
wget https://repo.radeon.com/rocm/rocm.gpg.key -O - | \
    gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /etc/apt/keyrings/rocm.gpg > /dev/null

Note

The GPG key may change; ensure it is updated when installing a new release. If the key signature verification fails while updating, re-add the key from the ROCm to the apt repository as mentioned above.

Register kernel-mode driver#

Add the AMDGPU repository for the driver.

echo "deb [arch=amd64,i386 signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/rocm.gpg] https://repo.radeon.com/amdgpu/6.4/ubuntu noble main" \
    | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/amdgpu.list
sudo apt update

echo "deb [arch=amd64,i386 signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/rocm.gpg] https://repo.radeon.com/amdgpu/6.4/ubuntu jammy main" \
    | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/amdgpu.list
sudo apt update
