System Requirements

For detailed hardware requirements, supported GPU configurations, and system setup instructions (Docker, NVIDIA Drivers, Container Toolkit), refer to the Support Matrix.

NGC (NVIDIA GPU Cloud) Account

  1. Create an account on NGC
  2. Generate an API Key
  3. Docker log in with your NGC API key using docker login nvcr.io --username='$oauthtoken' --password=${NGC_CLI_API_KEY}

NGC CLI Tool

  1. Download the NGC CLI tool for your OS.

Use NGC CLI version 3.41.1 or newer. Here is the command to install this on AMD64 Linux in your home directory:

wget --content-disposition https://api.ngc.nvidia.com/v2/resources/nvidia/ngc-apps/ngc_cli/versions/3.41.3/files/ngccli_linux.zip -O ~/ngccli_linux.zip && \
unzip ~/ngccli_linux.zip -d ~/ngc && \
chmod u+x ~/ngc/ngc-cli/ngc && \
echo "export PATH=\"\$PATH:~/ngc/ngc-cli\"" >> ~/.bash_profile && source ~/.bash_profile
  1. Set up your NGC CLI Tool locally (You’ll need your API key for this!):
ngc config set

After you enter your API key, you may see multiple options for the org and team. Select as desired or hit enter to accept the default.
