System Requirements#

Note

The system requirements of NVIDIA SDK Manager may differ from the system requirements of the specific SDK you are installing. Refer to the system requirements for the specific Jetson, DeepStream, Holoscan, Rivermax, GXF, Ethernet Switch, ARC-OTA, RAPIDS, or RTX Kit product release you are installing.

Category

Requirement

Host machine:

  • Ubuntu Desktop 16.04, 18.04, 20.04, 22.04, and 24.04 (x86_64, arm64)
