# Install the AMD SMI library and CLI tool
This section describes how to install the AMD SMI library, Python interface,
and command line tool either as part of the
{doc}`ROCm software stack <rocm:what-is-rocm>` -- or manually.
(install_reqs)=
## Requirements
The following are required to install and use the AMD SMI library through its language interfaces and CLI.
* The `amdgpu` driver must be loaded for AMD SMI initialization to work. See
[Install the amdgpu driver](#install_amdgpu_driver).
* Export `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` to the `amdsmi` installation directory.
```bash
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/rocm/lib:/opt/rocm/lib64
```
### Supported platforms
The AMD SMI library supports Linux bare metal and Linux virtual machine guest
for AMD GPUs and AMD EPYC™ CPUs via
[esmi_ib_lirary](https://github.com/amd/esmi_ib_library). To use AMD SMI for virtualization, refer to
the [AMD SMI for Virtualization documentation](https://instinct.docs.amd.com/projects/amd-smi-virt/en/latest/index.html).
AMD SMI library can run on AMD ROCm supported platforms. Refer to
{doc}`System requirements (Linux) <rocm-install-on-linux:reference/system-requirements>`
for more information.
<!--https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/install-on-linux/en/latest/reference/system-requirements.html-->
To run the AMD SMI library, the `amdgpu` driver and the `amd_hsmp` or `hsmp_acpi` driver need to be installed. Optionally, `libdrm` can be installed to query firmware
information and hardware IPs.
### Python interface and CLI tool prerequisites
* Python version 3.6.8 or greater (64-bit)
::::{note}
During the driver installation process on Azure Linux 3, you might encounter the `ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'more_itertools'` warning. This warning is a result of the reintroduction of `python3-wheel` and `python3-setuptools` dependencies in the CMake of AMD SMI, which requires `more_itertools` to build these Python libraries. This issue will be fixed in a future ROCm release. As a workaround, use the following command before installation:
```
sudo python3 -m pip install more_itertools
```
::::
### Go interface prerequisites
* Go version 1.20 or greater
(install_amdgpu_driver)=
## Install the amdgpu driver
```{note}
As of ROCm 7.0.0, the `amdgpu` driver is distributed separately from the ROCm
software stack. See
{doc}`rocm-install-on-linux:reference/user-kernel-space-compat-matrix` for
driver to ROCm user space compatibility information.
```
Confirm that your Linux kernel version matches the system requirements described in
{ref}`rocm-install-on-linux:supported_distributions`.
For up-to-date installation instructions, see the [AMD GPU Driver (amdgpu)
documentation](https://instinct.docs.amd.com/projects/amdgpu-docs/en/latest/install/detailed-install/prerequisites.html).
(install_amdgpu_rocm)=
## Install AMD SMI with ROCm
AMD SMI is included as a core package in the ROCm software stack as part of the
`rocm-developer-tools` meta package. See [ROCm runtime
packages](https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/install-on-linux/en/latest/reference/package-manager-integration.html#id3)
for more information.
```{note}
The `amdgpu-install` script is no longer the recommended way to install ROCm.
Install using your supported Linux distribution's package manager instead.
```
For up-to-date installation instructions via package manager, see {doc}`ROCm
installation for Linux <rocm-install-on-linux:install/prerequisites>`.
After installing the `amdgpu` driver and ROCm, verify your AMD SMI installation:
```shell
amd-smi
```
(install_without_rocm)=
## Install AMD SMI without ROCm
The following are example steps to install the AMD SMI libraries and CLI tool on
Ubuntu 22.04.
1. Install the library.
```shell
sudo apt install amd-smi-lib
```
2. Add the installation directory to your PATH. If installed with ROCm, ignore
this step.
```shell
export PATH="${PATH:+${PATH}:}~/opt/rocm/bin"
```
3. Verify your installation.
```shell
amd-smi --help
```
## Optionally enable CLI autocompletion
The `amd-smi` CLI application supports autocompletion. If `argcomplete` is not
installed and enabled already, do so using the following commands.
```shell
python3 -m pip install argcomplete
activate-global-python-argcomplete --user
# restart shell to enable
```
(install-manual-py-lib)=
## Install the Python library for multiple ROCm instances
If {doc}`multiple ROCm versions are installed
<rocm-install-on-linux:install/install-methods/multi-version-install-index>` and you
are not using `pyenv`, uninstall previous versions of AMD SMI before installing
the desired version from your ROCm instance.
### Manually install the Python library
The following are example AMD SMI installation steps on Ubuntu 22.04 without
ROCm.
1. Remove previous AMD SMI installation.
```shell
python3 -m pip list | grep amd
python3 -m pip uninstall amdsmi
```
2. Install the AMD SMI Python library from your target ROCm instance.
```shell
apt install amd-smi-lib
cd /opt/rocm/share/amd_smi
python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip
python3 -m pip install --user .
```
3. You should now have the AMD SMI Python library in your Python path:
```shell-session
~$ python3
Python 3.8.10 (default, May 26 2023, 14:05:08)
[GCC 9.4.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import amdsmi
>>>
```
