# Davinci Resolve Workstation
1) Install rocky linux 8.6
<hr>
I do my editing on Davinci Resolve. Since I am trying to get editing and gaming
off of Windows, I created a Davinci Resolve workstation that is based on Rocky
Linux 8, the OS Davinci officially supports. While Davinci can be installed on
other distros, it doesn't work on my [[distro of choice|alpine linux]], thus
might as well create a dedicated VM for it. Since my [[workstation]] uses
Proxmox, I can easily use different distros.
* upgrade to latest packages
This guide thus documents my installation process.
1) Install Rocky Linux 8.6
You can download the [BlackMagic's
ISO](https://downloads.blackmagicdesign.com/DaVinciResolve/DaVinci-Resolve-Linux-RockyLinux_8.6.iso)
for easier installation
* Upgrade to latest packages
```
sudo dnf update
```
* enable networking
* Enable networking
2) install amdgpu-pro
By default, wired networking is not automatically turned on.
* Remove nomodeset and rdblacklist=nouveau in grub config in /etc/default/grub and /boot/grub2/grubenv
2) Install `amdgpu-pro`
* Remove `nomodeset` and `rdblacklist=nouveau` in grub config in
`/etc/default/grub` and `/boot/grub2/grubenv`
```
sudo dnf install http://repo.radeon.com/amdgpu-install/6.3/rhel/8.10/amdgpu-install-6.3.60300-1.el8.noarch.rpm
sudo amdgpu-install --usecase=workstation --vulkan=pro --opencl=rocr

4) Compile awesome wm
4) Install `awesome` window manager
I only care for tiling window managers. Unfortunately, my manager of choice
`awesome` is not available on Rocky Linux 8. I thus have to compile it myself,
which involces compiling its build dependencies.
Compiling awesome on Rocky Linux 8.10 requires the following dependencies (in order of build):
* lua

```
To facilitate installing the built dependencies, you can use `createrepo` to
create a repo in `/home/user/rpmbuild` and pointing a new dnf repo to this
folder.
Specific notes:
* doxygen src rpm should come Fedora 29
* lua-ldoc and lua-penlight depend on each other, thus you will need to temporarily activate the fc28 repo by adding this in `/etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo`

After building all of your dependencies, clean-up everything by rolling back to the transaction before you started installing build dependencies. Use `dnf history info <transaction no>` to find that number and then `dnf history rollback <transaction no>`
