rocDecode quick-start installation
********************************************************************

To install the rocDecode runtime with minimum requirements, follow these steps:

1. Install core ROCm components (ROCm 6.1.0 or later) using the
:doc:`native package manager <rocm-install-on-linux:how-to/native-install/index>`
installation instructions.

* Register repositories
* Register kernel-mode driver
* Register ROCm packages
* Install kernel driver (``amdgpu-dkms``)--only required on bare metal install. Docker runtime uses the
  base ``dkms`` package irrespective of the version installed.

2. Install rocDecode runtime package. rocDecode only provides the ``librocdecode.so`` library (the
runtime package only installs the required core dependencies).
