AMD OpenCL PRO on Linux (DaVinci Resolve/Blender)

This is a Shell Script to install AMD OpenCL PRO over Mesa Driver originally created by "Kytulendu" https://gist.github.com/kytulendu/3351b5d0b4f947e19df36b1ea3c95cbe

I'm adding here some extra steps to unsure the users will have amdgpu-pro OpenCL working properly over Mesa Driver.

• This was tested on Pop!_OS 20.04 (AMD/Intel ISO) with DaVinci Resolve 17 Beta,
• Ryzen 7 2700X and RX580 8GB

What you need?

For better compatibility, install this packages and create a symbolic link:

sudo apt install opencl-headers ocl-icd-libopencl1 clinfo

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libOpenCL.so.1 /usr/lib/libOpenCL.so

Next Step,installing only OpenCL coming from AMDGPU-PRO Driver

1. Download this Repository using git or your browser; (Or Click Here)
2. Ensure the file have permissions to "run as a program"(right click over the file, go into properties and check the box";
3. Open the terminal on the folder were you have downloaded this shell script and run the following command with 'sudo':

sudo ./install-opencl-amd.sh

if you get 'sudo: ./install-opencl-amd.sh: command not found' output, make sure the install script file has all permissions. To set all permissions via terminal run: sudo chmod a+x ./install-opencl-amd.sh

You may receive some error messages because we are not installing the full AMDGPU-PRO, but it should work for DaVinci Resolve, Blender and other applications that need OpenCL.
