I can't seem to find any instructions for installing Caffe with OpenCL support. The Install.md file leads to a page, which links back here. Are there any detailed instructions available for installing Caffe with OpenCL support for AMD GPUs?

Any specific questions for your particular system?
You need at least viennacl-dev and an OpenCL SDK installed. The other settings you can choose when compiling are listed in the CMake settings or in the Makefile.config depending on which build system you choose to use.
If it is an AMD GPU clBLAS and LibDNN options should also be enabled.

Sorry, but my main problem is that I want to install this on an Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and I'm not used to building from source. So far I managed to install libDNN, but I can't find any instructions for installing clBLAS. Is it necessary to enable clBLAS for caffe-opencl with an AMD GPU?

Not necessary but gives better performance. LibDNN is built-in, no need to install the standalone version.
