Description

I notice that Fedora now provide a rocm metapackage so line 55 in docs/src/index.md could be reduced to

sudo dnf install rocm

In fact:

dnf repoquery --requires rocm

shows that rocm pulls in

amdsmi >= 6.4
aqlprofile
hipblas >= 6.4
hipblaslt >= 6.4
hipcc
hipfft >= 6.4
hiprand >= 6.4
hipsolver >= 6.4
hipsparse >= 6.4
hipsparselt >= 6.4
miopen >= 6.4
mivisionx >= 6.4
rccl >= 6.4
rocal >= 6.4
rocalution >= 6.4
rocblas >= 6.4
rocdecode >= 6.4
rocfft >= 6.4
rocjpeg >= 6.4
rocm-clang
rocm-clinfo >= 6.4
rocm-core >= 6.4
rocm-hip >= 6.4
rocm-omp >= 6.4
rocm-opencl >= 6.4
rocm-rpp >= 6.4
rocm-runtime >= 6.4
rocm-smi >= 6.4
rocminfo >= 6.4
rocrand >= 6.4
rocsolver >= 6.4
rocsparse >= 6.4
roctracer >= 6.4

However, although rocm-hip is listed, there is no rocm-hip-devel, so maybe that needs to be included after rocm.

Research direction

Check docs/src/index.md at line 55 and verify Fedora's rocm metapackage dependencies, including whether rocm-hip-devel is required. Update the installation command only after confirming the complete package needed, then review the rendered installation instructions.
