Install from Package Repositories#

This guide covers installing the dps-utils package through the system package manager on supported Linux distributions.

Install the dps-utils package version that matches the DPS server version. By default, the package manager installs the latest available version. If a matching package is unavailable, use the corresponding pre-built binary or container image.

Pre-Requisites#

The system package manager has been configured to use an NVIDIA package registry for the system’s Linux distribution. For those using a CUDA local package registry on disk, it is recommended to update to the latest version available.

Please refer to the CUDA installation guide for detailed steps.
A user needs sufficient permissions to install packages through the system package manager. This could be either a root user or a user with appropriate sudo privileges.

Post-Install#

Verify the installation by checking the dpsctl version:

dpsctl --version

After the server is reachable, compare this output with dpsctl server-version. Keep the package pinned according to your operating system policy so an unrelated system update does not move the client ahead of the server.
