Can't install CUDA on Jetson Nano

Hi all, I’ve tried several forums including the official CUDA installation guide. Everything runs fine in the pre-installation until I get to this command: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
in the Ubuntu section which yields:

E: Unable to locate package linux-headers-4.9.299-tegra
E: Couldn’t find any package by glob ‘linux-headers-4.9.299-tegra’
E: Couldn’t find any package by regex ‘linux-headers-4.9.299-tegra’

Link here: CUDA Installation Guide for Linux

I also tried the instructions here as this corresponds to my Ubuntu 18 and desired 11.x CUDA version. But to no avail either. I get a lot of missing packages and things and nothing works. I’m using the latest flashed image for the Nano.

If I run the fix broke install command this is what I get:

krypto@nano1:~$ sudo apt --fix-broken install

any help would be appreciated

CUDA is preinstalled on the Nano. Don’t try to install it.

Okay, might be why this is so difficult and full of errors… Do you know how I can check the versions available and overall compatibility? There are some packages I want to run that have been tested on 10.x and even 11.x but I have come to understand that Nano might lack support for 11 and above.
Thanks for your response!

ls -l /usr/local | grep cuda

It’s 10.2
