Installing with Local Repositories#

As an alternative to the method described in Creating a Local Mirror of the NVIDIA Repository, the DGX software can also be installed using local repositories. These repositories are provided by NVIDIA for installing the required packages from local repositories, allowing installation of packages without network access.

Installing the Base Red Hat Enterprise Linux System#

The Red Hat components of the software must be installed either using the standard network based installation, or as described in Installing on “Air-Gapped” Systems. This includes registering and subscribing to the Red Hat Customer Portal.

If the system is connected to the network, follow the steps of the standard Red Hat Enterprise Linux installation, then enable the additional Red Hat repositories. Finally, execute:

sudo dnf update -y
sudo dnf install -y kernel-devel kernel-headers
sudo reboot

If the system is not connected to the network, follow the instructions in Creating a Local Mirror of the NVIDIA Repository

Downloading the Local Repositories#

Download the packages that apply to your release.

cudnn-local-repo-rhel10-9.15.0-1.0-1.x86_64.rpm

Installing the Local Repositories#

Use the RPM filenames from the table for your release (EL10-26.03 or EL10-25.11). The following example uses EL10-25.11:

sudo dnf install -y ./nvidia-main-local-repo.26.03-6.el10.x86_64.rpm
sudo dnf install -y ./dgx-local-repo-26.03-6.el10.x86_64.rpm
sudo dnf install -y ./nvidia-driver-local-repo-rhel10-580.105.08-1.0-1.x86_64.rpm
sudo dnf install -y ./cuda-repo-rhel10-13-0-local-13.0.2_580.95.05-1.x86_64.rpm

For EL10-26.03, run the same steps using the filenames from the EL10-26.03 table (for example nvidia-main-local-repo.26.03-6.el10.x86_64.rpm and the matching driver, CUDA toolkit, and cuDNN local repository RPMs).

Installing the cuDNN Local Repositories#

Install the cuDNN local repositories (use the RPM URL and filename for your release from the tables above). Example for EL10-25.11:

wget https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cudnn/9.15.0/local_installers/cudnn-local-repo-rhel10-9.15.0-1.0-1.x86_64.rpm
sudo rpm -i cudnn-local-repo-rhel10-9.15.0-1.0-1.x86_64.rpm
sudo dnf clean all
sudo dnf -y install cudnn

With the local repositories installed, proceed with the standard Installing the DGX Software instructions.
