Overview

NVIDIA provides a NVIDIA® DGX™ software stack targeted for installation on DGX systems that have been user-installed with Red Hat Enterprise Linux. The software stack provides the same features and functionality that are provided by the original DGX OS Server and DGX OS Desktop software built upon the Ubuntu operating system. See also the DGX Software on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Installation Guide.

The following are the current versions available:

Installing the Software

To install the software on a fresh DGX system, see the DGX Software for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 - Installation Guide or the DGX Software for CentOS - Installation Guide

Updating the Software without Moving to a Later Driver Release Package

To update your DGX system to the latest version from a previous version within the same driver package, issue the following.

            

            
sudo yum update
        

Updating the Software and Moving to a Later Driver Release Package

To install a later driver release package, enable the appropriate repository before issuing sudo yum update as follows.

1. To install the R450-related packages, enable the R450 repository as follows.

   Note

   If you have already enabled the R450 repository in a previous update, then you do not need to do it again.

   Either edit/etc/yum.repos.d/nvidia-dgx-7.repo and set enabled=1,
