Tarballs and Zip Archive Deliverables

In an effort to meet the needs of a growing customer base requiring alternative installer packaging formats, as well as a means of input into community CI/CD systems, tarball and zip archives are available for each component.

These tarball and zip archives, known as binary archives, are provided at https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/nvidia-driver/redist/.

These component .tar.xz and .zip binary archives do not replace existing packages such as .deb, .rpm, .run, conda, etc. and are not meant for general consumption, as they are not installers. However this standardized approach will replace existing .txz archives.

For each release, a JSON manifest is provided such as redistrib_<version>.json, which corresponds to the Datacenter Driver release label which includes the release date, the name of each component, license name, relative URL for each platform and checksums.

Package maintainers are advised to check the provided LICENSE for each component prior to redistribution. Instructions for developers using CMake and Bazel build systems are provided in the next sections.
