   AMDGPU for Oracle Linux

   If possible Select directly “Open with Archive Manager”!

3. 3. Extracting AMDGPU Pro Archive

   Or from Command Line:

   Play:

   Authenticate with the User Admin Pass.

5. 5. Installing AMDGPU-Pro

   Now to Install AMDGPU-PRO on Oracle Linux
   First, possibly remove any possible other existing AMD Driver with:

   sudo dnf remove *amdgpu*

   Next to Set up the Proprietary AMDGPU Pro Version execute:

   /tmp/amdgpu*/amdgpu-pro-install -y

   Again for the Pro with OpenCL Support:

   /tmp/amdgpu*/amdgpu-pro-install --opencl=pal,legacy -y

   Instead, for the OpenCL Headless variant do:

   /tmp/amdgpu*/amdgpu-pro-install --opencl=pal,legacy -y --headless

   Last, for the Open-Source alternative play:

   /tmp/amdgpu*/amdgpu-install -y

   Finally, to load it reboot with:

   sudo reboot
