HIP can be installed on AMD (ROCm with HIP-Clang) and NVIDIA (CUDA with NVCC) platforms.
Note: The version definition for the HIP runtime is different from CUDA. On an AMD platform, the
hipRuntimeGerVersion function returns the HIP runtime version; on an NVIDIA platform, this function
returns the CUDA runtime version.

Refer to the Prerequisites section in the ROCm install guides:
* :doc:`rocm-install-on-linux:reference/system-requirements`
* :doc:`rocm-install-on-windows:reference/system-requirements`
.. tab-item:: NVIDIA
:sync: nvidia
Check the system requirements in the
`NVIDIA CUDA Installation Guide <https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-installation-guide-linux/>`_.

HIP is automatically installed during the ROCm installation. If you haven't yet installed ROCm, you
can find installation instructions here:
* :doc:`rocm-install-on-linux:index`
* :doc:`rocm-install-on-windows:index`
By default, HIP is installed into ``/opt/rocm/hip``.
.. note::
There is no autodetection for the HIP installation. If you choose to install it somewhere other than the default location, you must set the ``HIP_PATH`` environment variable as explained in `Build HIP from source <./build.html>`_.

#. Install the NVIDIA driver.
.. code-block:: shell
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-drivers-common && sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall
sudo reboot
Alternatively, you can download the latest
`CUDA Toolkit <https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads>`_.
#. Install the ``hip-runtime-nvidia`` and ``hip-dev`` packages. This installs the CUDA SDK and HIP
porting layer.
.. code-block:: shell
apt-get install hip-runtime-nvidia hip-dev
The default paths are:
* CUDA SDK: ``/usr/local/cuda``
* HIP: ``/opt/rocm/hip``
You can optionally add ``/opt/rocm/bin`` to your path, which can make it easier to use the tools.
Run hipconfig in your installation path.
/opt/rocm/bin/hipconfig --full
