Install SCALE#
Select your operating system and version below to see installation instructions.
First, set up the AMDGPU and ROCm 6.2.2 package repositories. This is explained by AMD, but briefly:
sudo mkdir --parents --mode=0755 /etc/apt/keyrings
wget https://repo.radeon.com/rocm/rocm.gpg.key -O - | \
gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /etc/apt/keyrings/rocm.gpg > /dev/null
echo "deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/rocm.gpg] https://repo.radeon.com/amdgpu/6.2.2/ubuntu jammy main" \
| sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/amdgpu.list
echo "deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/rocm.gpg] https://repo.radeon.com/rocm/apt/6.2.2 jammy main" \
| sudo tee --append /etc/apt/sources.list.d/rocm.list
echo -e 'Package: *\nPin: release o=repo.radeon.com\nPin-Priority: 600' \
| sudo tee /etc/apt/preferences.d/rocm-pin-600
sudo apt update
SCALE can then be installed as follows:
# Download the .deb package
# sha512sum: f588262a30d123d0ab812e6c6f820ec2d8011c9e535e4cdf2a25b5f57376736f79893cce57593efa8142aaa71210b5b0f56db3b5d422e62c17336b3908a36508
wget https://dist.scale-lang.com/scale-free-1.2.0-Ubuntu22.04.deb
# Install the package
sudo apt install ./scale-free-1.2.0-Ubuntu22.04.deb
Add your user to the video group:
sudo usermod -a -G video youruser
If you did not already have the amdgpu-dkms kernel driver installed prior to
installing SCALE, you should now reboot.

Download and extract the SCALE tarball:

wget https://dist.scale-lang.com/scale-free-1.2.0-Linux.tar.xz
# Extract the SCALE tarball.
tar xf scale-free-1.2.0-Linux.tar.xz
The tarball is significantly larger than other options since it includes many dependent libraries directly instead of asking the system package manager to install them.
