Installing the Vitis Software Platform
Ensure your system meets all requirements described in Installation Requirements.

★ Tip: To reduce installation time, disable anti-virus software and close all open
programs that are not needed.

1. Go to the AMD Adaptive Computing Downloads Website.

2. Download the installer for your operating system.
3. Run the installer, xsetup, or xsetup.exe, which opens the Welcome page.
Extract the installer package.
4. Click Next to open the Select Install Type page of the Installer.
5. If installing with the web installer, enter your AMD user account credentials,
and select Download and Install Now (only needed by web installer).
6. Click Next to open the Accept License Agreements page of the Installer.
7. Accept the terms and conditions by clicking each I Agree check box.
8. Click Next to open the Select Product to Install page of the Installer.
9. Select Vitis and click Next to open the Vitis Unified Software Platform page of
the Installer.
10. Customize your installation by selecting design tools and devices (optional).
The default Design Tools selections are for standard Vitis Unified Software
Platform installations, and include Vitis, Vivado, and Vitis HLS. You do not
need to separately install Vivado tools. You can also install Model Composer
and System Generator if needed.
You can enable Vitis IP Cache to install cache files for example designs found
in the release. This is not required, but when selected, the files are installed at
<installdir>/Vitis/<release>/data/cache/xilinx.
The default Devices selections are for devices used on standard acceleration
platforms supported by the Vitis tools. You can disable some devices that
might not be of interest in your installation.
11. Click Next to open the Accept License Agreements page of the Installer and
accept as appropriate.
12. Click Next to open the Select Destination Directory page of the Installer.
13. Specify the installation directory, review the location summary, review the disk
space required to insure there is enough space, and click Next to open the
Installation Summary page of the Installer.
14. Click Install to begin the installation of the software.
After a successful installation of the full Vitis unified software, a confirmation
message is displayed, with a prompt to run the installLibs.sh script.

1. Locate the script at: <install_dir>/Vitis/<release>/scripts/installLibs.sh, where

<install_dir> is the location of your installation, and <release> is the
installation version.
✎ Note: This script is not required on Windows.
2. Run the script using sudo privileges as follows:

sudo installLibs.sh

The command installs a number of necessary packages for the Vitis tools based on
the OS of your system.
‼ Important: Pay attention to any messages returned by the script. You might need
to install any missing packages manually. For example, if your installation of Linux
does not include the zip command-line utility, you need to manually install it. The
utility is required by some of the Vitis tools and the installLibs.sh script does not
install it for you.

Lightweight Installer Download

If you downloaded the lightweight installer, launch the downloaded file. You are
prompted to log in and use your regular AMD login credentials to continue with the
installation process.
✎ Note: On Linux the file is a .bin file and can be launched by running ./<name of
the file>.bin. Ensure that you have changed the file permissions to execute.
After entering your login credentials, you can select between a traditional web-
based installation or a full install image download.

Download and Install Now

Allows you to select specific tools and device families on following screens,
downloads only the files required to install those selections, and installs them
for you.
Download Image (Install Separately)
Requires you to select a download destination and to choose whether you
want a Windows only, Linux only, or an install that supports both operating
systems. You also have an option to either download the full installer or
download only selected products. There are no further options to choose with
the Full Image selection, and installation needs to be done separately by
running the xsetup application from the download directory.
