On Ubuntu Linux, [AMD Radeon Software for Linux version 24.20 or later](https://www.amd.com/en/support/linux-drivers) is required to use the VCN encoder. Install using the `amdgpu-pro-install` script according to AMD’s [installation guide](https://amdgpu-install.readthedocs.io/en/latest/). Additionally, you must manually install the `amf-amdgpu-pro` package included in the download.
34+
On Linux, we need the official amdgpu-pro drivers.
35+
36+
- Download the latest drivers from: [AMD Radeon Software for Linux version 24.20 or later](https://www.amd.com/en/support/linux-drivers) is required to use the VCN encoder.
37+
- sudo dpkg -i amdgpu-install_VERSION_all.deb (Where version is similar to: 6.3.60302-1)
38+
- sudo amdgpu-install -y --usecase=graphics,amf --accept-eula
39+
- Reboot your computer.

For native installs, VCN should now be available in the HandBrake GUI.
42+
43+
If your are using a flatpak build, you will have to perform some additional steps:
44+
45+
- If you don't already have [Flatseal](https://flathub.org/apps/com.github.tchx84.Flatseal) installed, you will need to install it.
46+
- Open FlatSeal and choose the HandBrake app.
47+
- In the "Other Files" section, add a folder "/opt"
48+
- In the "Environment - Variables" section, change LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/app/extensions/lib:/opt/amdgpu-pro/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
49+
(adding :/opt/amdgpu-pro/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu) to the end. Note, on non-ubuntu distros, this path may be differnet. I.e RHEL/SLE it may be under: /opt/amdgpu-pro/lib64
50+
51+
Now, if your run HandBrake, you should see the VCN options available.
