SDK Manager Settings

The SDK Manager Settings menu allows you to configure several different SDK Manager options. To do so:

  1. Launch SDK Manager.

  2. Click on the 3 dots in the top right corner ("⋮") and select Settings.

  3. The Settings dialog will open.

Proxy Settings

In network environments that require a proxy server to access the Internet, the Proxy Settings section of the Settings menu allows you to configure the following: 

  • Status: Select whether or not to use a proxy server.

  • Address: Set the proxy server IP address.

  • Port: Set the proxy server port to use.

  • Username and Password: Credentials required to use the proxy server, if applicable.

Upon completion, SDK Manager uses these settings when it downloads software components.

Note:

Any special characters (for example, !,@,#, etc.) in the username or password field must be URL encoded.   

Note:

Parts of the installation process use the apt-get command to install external libraries. Consequently, your apt configuration must be set to access through the proxy to the Ubuntu repositories.   

Concurrent Downloads

The Concurrent Downloads section of the Settings dialog allows you to change the maximum number of concurrent downloads that SDK Manager can perform.

  • Default number of concurrent downloads: 3

  • Maximum number of concurrent downloads: 3 if the host has at least 8GB of RAM, or 1 if it has less than 8GB of RAM.

SDK Manager Updates

The SDK Manager Updates section of the Settings dialog specifies how often SDK Manager will check for any updates that need to be installed. The default setting is every 7 days.

Privacy Settings

NVIDIA can collect usage data from SDK Manager. The Privacy Settings section of the Settings dialog allows you to enable or disable usage data collection. This setting is configured when you launch SDK Manager for the first time, but can be changed at any time in this menu. Click the hyperlink in the Privacy Settings section to change your usage data collection option.
