Get Started on Linux

The SDK requires specific NVIDIA GPUs, a specific distribution of Linux, and other associated software on which the SDK depends.

This SDK is designed and optimized for server-side (datacenter/cloud) deployment. We do not officially support the testing, experimentation, and production deployment of this SDK to client-side application integration and local deployment.

Hardware Requirements

The AR SDK is compatible with GPUs that are based on NVIDIA Turing™, NVIDIA Ampere™, NVIDIA Ada™, NVIDIA Hopper™, or NVIDIA Blackwell™ architecture.

Note

For best performance with NVIDIA T4 and other server GPUs, make sure that you use a server that meets the thermal and airflow requirements for these types of products. Refer to https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/data-center/tesla/tesla-qualified-servers-catalog/ for the latest list of qualified servers.

Software Requirements

The SDK requires a specific version of Linux and other associated software on which the SDK depends.

Software	Required Version
Linux	Ubuntu 20.04, 22.04, 24.04 Debian 11, 12 Rocky Linux 8 or 9 RHEL 8 or 9
