To get help when you install AI Workbench, see the NVIDIA Developer Forum.

Dependencies

When you install AI Workbench, Git, Git Large File Storage (LFS), and other container-related dependencies are installed for you. If a dependency is already installed, AI Workbench updates the dependency if necessary. If you uninstall AI Workbench, dependencies that were already installed are not uninstalled.

NVIDIA GPU and Drivers

You can install AI Workbench on a computer with or without a GPU. If you install AI Workbench on a Windows computer that has a GPU, you need to install and handle the NVIDIA drivers separately yourself.

We recommend the following NVIDIA-provided applications to handle the drivers on Windows:

Connect to your Git account

Each AI Workbench project is formatted so that you can store it on a git server. Currently, GitHub and GitLab are supported. When you install AI Workbench you are prompted to connect to a Git server. You can skip this step during installation and come back to it later, and you can change your Git integration at any time.

To connect to your Git account

  1. Start AI Workbench by double clicking the icon on your desktop, or by searching for the program and pressing enter. The icon has the NVIDIA logo in it.

  2. After AI Workbench opens, right-click on the AI Workbench icon on the taskbar and click Settings. Alternatively, you can right-click the gray AI Workbench logo in the computer’s system tray (AppIndicator on Ubuntu 22.04, Notification Area on macOS) and click Settings.

    The Workbench Settings window appears.

  3. In the Workbench Settings window, select the Integration page.

  4. Connect (or disconnect) to GitHub or GitLab. You can connect by logging in or by using a personal access token (PAT).

To install or uninstall AI Workbench, choose the following instructions that correspond to your operating system.
