Prerequisites for hipBLAS installation
***********************************************************
The following prerequisites are required to install hipBLAS, whether by using a package manager
or building the application from the source code.
Prerequisites for Linux
=========================
The hipBLAS prerequisites are different than the :doc:`rocBLAS <rocblas:index>` and NVIDIA CUDA `cuBLAS <https://developer.nvidia.com/cublas>`_ backend prerequisites.
* The prerequisites required to use the rocBLAS backend with AMD components are as follows:
* A ROCm-enabled platform. For more information, see the :doc:`Linux system requirements <rocm-install-on-linux:reference/system-requirements>`.
* A compatible version of `hipblas-common <https://github.com/ROCm/hipBLAS-common>`_.
* A compatible version of rocBLAS.
* For full functionality, optionally install a compatible version of :doc:`rocSOLVER <rocsolver:index>` and its :doc:`rocSPARSE <rocsparse:index>`
and :doc:`rocPRIM <rocprim:index>` dependencies.
* The prerequisites required to use the cuBLAS backend with NVIDIA components are as follows:
* A HIP-enabled platform. For more information, see :doc:`HIP installation <hip:install/install>`.
* A working CUDA toolkit, including cuBLAS. For more information, see `CUDA toolkit <https://developer.nvidia.com/accelerated-computing-toolkit/>`_.
Prerequisites for Microsoft Windows
===================================
* Here are the prerequisites required to use the rocBLAS backend with AMD components:
* An AMD HIP SDK-enabled platform. For more information, see :doc:`Windows system requirements <rocm-install-on-windows:reference/system-requirements>`.
* A compatible version of hipblas-common.
* A compatible version of rocBLAS.
* For full functionality, a compatible version of :doc:`rocSOLVER <rocsolver:index>` and its :doc:`rocSPARSE <rocsparse:index>`
and :doc:`rocPRIM <rocprim:index>` dependencies.
* hipBLAS is supported on the same Windows versions and toolchains that HIP SDK supports.
* hipBLAS does not support the cuBLAS backend on Windows.
