Cannot find Nvidia Jetpack Directory on Orin AGX Despite Having it Installed on System

I was following the instructions for installing the librealsense sdk for my Jetson Orin AGX through intel’s official github page
(librealsense/doc/installation_jetson.md at master · IntelRealSense/librealsense · GitHub)
when I realized that one of the steps calls for installing a custom camera driver
(GitHub - IntelRealSense/realsense_mipi_platform_driver: Intel® RealSense™ camera driver for GMSL* interface).
One of the steps for installing this driver requires me to pass in my nvidia-jetpack directory as an argument to a bash script. I have however been unsuccessful in locating this directory.

Running the command apt show nvidia-jetpack gives the following output:

Package: nvidia-jetpack

This verifies that I have two instances of the package installed. However, attempting to find the directory via dpkg -L nvidia-jetpack only gives the location of the documentation files:

/.
/usr
/usr/share
/usr/share/doc
/usr/share/doc/nvidia-jetpack
/usr/share/doc/nvidia-jetpack/changelog.gz
/usr/share/doc/nvidia-jetpack/copyright

I am unsure how to proceed as I was not the one who configured this Jetson Orin. Furthermore, most issues online pertain to the Orin Nano.

Any insight on how to locate this package would be appreciated.

Jetpack Debian Packages

nvidia-jetpack is a meta package that mainly installs other packages.

You could do the following to make sure Jetpack is fully installed and to get some information on it

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nvidia-l4t-apt-source.list

sudo apt search nvidia|grep install

cat /etc/nv_tegra_release

You may want to upgrade to Jetpack 6.2 . Instructions in the link.

edit nvidia-l4t-apt-source.list to point to r36.4

sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nvidia-l4t-apt-source.list
deb https://repo.download.nvidia.com/jetson/common r36.4 main
deb https://repo.download.nvidia.com/jetson/t234 r36.4 main
deb https://repo.download.nvidia.com/jetson/ffmpeg r36.4 main
