Linux Installation and Setup#

Nsight Graphics™ can be downloaded from the NVIDIA GameWorks Download Center, and is installed as a standalone application.

Host Setup

  1. Run the .run file.

  2. When prompted, accept the license agreement.

    ../_images/linux_install.001.png

  3. Enter an install path.

  4. Specify whether or not you want to create a symlink.

    ../_images/linux_install_symlink.001.png

  5. Complete the installation.

After the installation, the Nsight Graphics GUI host can be found in:

<install path>/host/linux-desktop-nomad-x64/ngfx-ui

If installed by the .deb installer, you can use this command to start the GUI host:

ngfx-ui-for-linux

Note

The .deb package will automatically install the required dependencies. If you are using the .run installer, you may need to install additional dependencies manually. For example, on Ubuntu, the following dependencies are required:

libvulkan1
libzstd1
libc6-dev

These libraries are required for the Nsight Graphics GUI host to run. Refer to Qt Linux requirements for more information.
