 You may substitute an installation path of your own choosing by passing CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX. For example:
 ```shell
-$ CXX=/opt/rocm/bin/hipcc cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$PWD/rccl-install ..
+$ CXX=/opt/rocm/bin/hipcc cmake -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/opt/rocm/ -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$PWD/rccl-install ..
 ```
 Note: ensure rocm-cmake is installed, `apt install rocm-cmake`.
