$ tar -xJvf amdgpu-pro_*.tar.xz
Extract
A directory containing all of the necessary packages will be created based on the version of the drivers. cd into that directory.
$ cd amdgpu-pro-XX.XX-XXXXXX
Run The Script
Don’t worry about installing all of those packages individually. There’s an installer script that will handle everything for you. Run the script as a regular user. It will ask you for your password to use sudo. If you want to be lazy, add the -y flag to answer “Yes” to every question.
$ ./amdgpu-pro-install -y
Let the script run and install all of your packages. It’ll take a bit of time, but once it’s done, your system will be ready. Just restart, and you can start using your new drivers.
Configure
Ensure that your user account is a member of the “video” group prior to using the vulkan driver.
To add yourself to the video group you will need the sudo password and can use the following command:
$ *sudo usermod -a -G video $LOGNAME*
