Install with Network Repository

Network Repo Installation for Ubuntu

The new GPG public key for the NVIDIA compute repository is 3bf863cc. This must be enrolled on the system, either using the cuda-keyring package or manually; the apt-key command is deprecated and not recommended.

  1. Install the cuda-keyring package.

wget https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/$distro/x86_64/cuda-keyring_1.1-1_all.deb

where $distro should be replaced by one of the following, according to your current distribution:

  • ubuntu1804

  • ubuntu2004

  • ubuntu2204

  • debian10

sudo dpkg -i cuda-keyring_1.1-1_all.deb
  1. Alternatively, if you are unable to install the cuda-keyring package, you can do one of the following:

  1. Enroll the new signing key manually.

wget https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/<distro>/<arch>/cuda-archive-keyring.gpg
sudo mv cuda-archive-keyring.gpg /usr/share/keyrings/cuda-archive-keyring.gpg
  1. Enable the network repository.

echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/cuda-archive-keyring.gpg] https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/<distro>/<arch>/ /" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cuda-<distro>-<arch>.list
  1. Add a pin file to prioritize the CUDA repository.

wget https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/<distro>/<arch>/cuda-<distro>.pin
sudo mv cuda-<distro>.pin /etc/apt/preferences.d/cuda-repository-pin-600
  1. Installation for Ubuntu:
