Note
- All package installs are shown with the
apt
package manager. Use the appropriate package manager for your operating system. - To install rocDecode with minimum requirements, follow the quick-start instructions
For your convenience, we provide the setup script, rocDecode-setup.py, which installs all required dependencies. Run this script only once.
python3 rocDecode-setup.py --rocm_path [ ROCm Installation Path - optional (default:/opt/rocm)]
--runtime [ Setup runtime requirements - optional (default:ON) [options:ON/OFF]]
--developer [ Setup Developer Options - optional (default:OFF) [options:ON/OFF]]
The installation process uses the following steps:
-
ROCm-supported hardware install verification
-
Install ROCm
6.1.0
or later with amdgpu-install with--usecase=rocm
-
Use either package install or source install as described below.
To install rocDecode runtime, development, and test packages, run the line of code for your operating system.
- Runtime package -
rocdecode
only provides the rocdecode librarylibrocdecode.so
- Development package -
rocdecode-dev
/rocdecode-devel
provides the library, header files, and samples - Test package -
rocdecode-test
provides CTest to verify installation
sudo apt install rocdecode rocdecode-dev rocdecode-test
sudo yum install rocdecode rocdecode-devel rocdecode-test
sudo zypper install rocdecode rocdecode-devel rocdecode-test
Note
Package install auto installs all dependencies.

To build rocDecode from source and install, run:
git clone https://github.com/ROCm/rocDecode.git
cd rocDecode
python3 rocDecode-setup.py
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ../
make -j8
sudo make install
make test
Important
make test requires FFMPEG
dev install
Note
To run tests with verbose option, use make test ARGS="-VV"
.
sudo make package
The installer copies:
- Libraries into
/opt/rocm/lib
- Header files into
/opt/rocm/include/rocdecode
- Samples folder into
/opt/rocm/share/rocdecode
- Documents folder into
/opt/rocm/share/doc/rocdecode
To verify your installation using a sample application, run:
mkdir rocdecode-sample && cd rocdecode-sample
cmake /opt/rocm/share/rocdecode/samples/videoDecode/
make -j8
./videodecode -i /opt/rocm/share/rocdecode/video/AMD_driving_virtual_20-H265.mp4
To verify your installation using the rocdecode-test
package, run:
mkdir rocdecode-test && cd rocdecode-test
cmake /opt/rocm/share/rocdecode/test/
ctest -VV
You can access samples to decode your videos in our GitHub repository. Refer to the individual folders to build and run the samples.
FFmpeg is required for sample applications and make test
. To install
FFmpeg, refer to the instructions listed for your operating system:
-
Ubuntu:
sudo apt install ffmpeg libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev libavutil-dev
-
RHEL/SLES:
Install ffmpeg development packages manually or use
rocDecode-setup.py
script
