2023-07 - I have composed this collection of instructions as they are my notes. I use to setup my own Linux system with AMD parts. I've gone over these doing many re-installs to get them all right. This is what I had hoped to find when I was looking for install instructions - so I'm sharing them in the hopes that they save time for other people.
2023-09-09 - I had a report that this doesn't work in virtual machines (virtualbox) as the system there cannot see the hardware, it can't load drivers, etc. While this is not a guide about Windows, Windows users may find it more helpful to try DirectML - https://rocm.docs.amd.com/en/latest/deploy/windows/quick_start.html / https://github.com/lshqqytiger/stable-diffusion-webui-directml
[ ... updates abridged ... ]
2024-05-12 - PyTorch.org now refers to ROCm 6 as stable, thus there's no need to refer to 5.7 series drivers anymore. I'm archiving these instructions here for posterity.
Ubuntu 22.04 works great on Radeon 6900 XT video cards, but does not support 7900XTX cards as they came out later Ubuntu 23.04 is newer but has issues with some of the tools. So the notes below should work on either system, unless commented.
At this point we assume you've done the system install and you know what that is, have a user, root, etc.

First we'll need Conda ... Required for pytorch... Conda provides virtual environments for python, so that programs with different dependencies can have different environments.

It appears ExLlama isn't being maintained and the emphasis is now on ExLlamav2... v2 has been updated to support Mixture of Experts (MoE such as Mixtral ).
2023-12-23 - After many tests, it appears that the exllamav2 that's installed above gives an error, so we're compiling and reinstalling exllama here as when we do that it does work.
2024-01-18 - Something has broken and exllamav2 won't compile so I've added a line to reset the checkout to the last known good / compiling version 0.0.11
2024-01-20 - Thanks to TurboDerp for resolving issue with exllamav2 so it plays nice with HIP. Remarked out workaround, in case such is useful in future.

cd ../..Models : If you're new to this - new models can be downloaded from the shell via a python script, or from a form in the interface. There are lots of them - http://huggingface.co Generally the GPTQ models by TheBloke are likely to load... https://huggingface.co/TheBloke The 30B/33B models will load on 24GB of VRAM, but may error, or run out of memory depending on usage and parameters. Worthy of mention, TurboDerp ( author of the exllama loaders ) has been posting exllamav2 ( exl2 ) processed versions of models - https://huggingface.co/turboderp ( for use with exllamav2 loader ) - when downloading, note the --branch option.
To get new models note the ~/text-generation-webui directory has a program " download-model.py " that is made for downloading models from HuggingFace's collection.
If you have old models, link pre-stored models into the models
