Installation

SDK Manager installation instructions are detailed here.

Windows Users#

After downloading the .exe file, double-click it to launch the NVIDIA SDK Manager installer. The installer will first extract the necessary files to a temporary directory. You may change this extraction path if desired. Use a new, empty folder as the extraction path; it will be used only for temporary files, which will be automatically removed once installation is complete. Click OK to begin.

Once the installation is complete, 3 optional additional steps will be provided:

  1. Launch SDK Manager – This will automatically start the SDK Manager application after the installation finishes, so you can begin using it right away.

  2. Add SDK Manager to PATH – This adds the SDK Manager executable to your system’s PATH environment variable, allowing you to launch it from any command prompt or terminal session without specifying the full installation directory.

  3. Install PowerShell 7 (recommended for better logging) – Installs PowerShell 7, which provides improved logging capabilities for SDK Manager operations and other tasks, useful for debugging and managing installations.
