I am wanting to run AI Workbench from my mac and connect to my Jetson AGX Orin Developer Kit. I have installed successfully on the Mac but I am running into problems installing on the Jetson. I logged into the Jetson and downloaded AI workbench following local Ubuntu instructions but after downloading the NVIDIA-AI-Workbench-x86_64.AppImage I could not get it to run. I saw an article that said .appimage don’t have to be installed so I tried connecting form AI workbench on mac and got the following message “{“level”:“error”,“error”:“failed to verify remote context workbench service is available: Process exited with status 127”,“isWrapped”:false,“isInteractive”:false,“engine”:“json”,“detail”:“detail”,“time”:“2024-07-23T17:05:05-04:00”,“message”:“Failed to create context.”}”
So I decided to try the remote installation instructions located here: Install AI Workbench Remotely on Ubuntu - NVIDIA Docs
When I run this I get the following error:
mkdir -p $HOME/.nvwb/bin &&
curl -L https://workbench.download.nvidia.com/stable/workbench-cli/$(curl -L -s https://workbench.download.nvidia.com/stable/workbench-cli/LATEST)/nvwb-cli-$(uname)-$(uname -m) --output $HOME/.nvwb/bin/nvwb-cli &&
chmod +x $HOME/.nvwb/bin/nvwb-cli &&
sudo -E $HOME/.nvwb/bin/nvwb-cli install

I logged into the Jetson and downloaded AI workbench following local Ubuntu instructions but after downloading the NVIDIA-AI-Workbench-x86_64.AppImage I could not get it to run. I saw an article that said .appimage don’t have to be installed so I tried connecting form AI workbench on mac and got the following message …
The computation model of NVIDIA AI Workbench is such that a user will always have a local AI Workbench they work in on a primary basis. From this local system, a user can connect many remote systems.
From this description, it sounds like this is your Mac machine is your local system. It also looks like you have installed a local AI Workbench on the Jetson system as well.
AI Workbench does not allow you to connect a local workbench to another local workbench. To fix, consider installing the remote AI Workbench service on the Jetson system, and then adding it to your local AI Workbench running on the Mac. If successful, you should then be able to access the Jetson remote from inside the local Mac system. Instructions for remote install.
One wrinkle to keep in mind from the documentation is that AI Workbench is compatible on remote systems running Ubuntu 22.04 or 24.04. It seems that your Jetson system is running a specialized form of Linux called Linux for Tegra (L4T) or Jetson Linux.
While this is based on Ubuntu 22.04 based on a cursory search, I’m not sure this specific distribution is tested, verified, or supported by AI Workbench just yet. Feel free to try and provide any findings/logs/etc you encounter. Hope this helps!
Thank you for your reply. I have tried this remote installation from my mac and get the following:
~/.nvwb/bin$ curl -L https://workbench.download.nvidia.com/stable/workbench-cli/$(curl -L -s https://workbench.download.nvidia.com/stable/workbench-cli/LATEST)/nvwb-cli-$(uname)-$(uname -m) --output $HOME/.nvwb/bin/nvwb-cli &&

I am happy to provide logs but I do not know which logs would be helpful. I think this might be as you stated due to the version of Ubuntu on the Jetson maybe it is missing something.
