How to manually install CUDA and all necessary packages on my Jetson Nano without SDK Manager?

injenus · February 26, 2024, 6:59pm

I have a Jetson Nano 4gb by Seeed Studio. I don’t have enough of the original 16Gb on the eMMC, so I followed these instructions (J1010 Boot From SD Card | Seeed Studio Wiki) to activate the sd-card. I had errors with installing packages in the Nvidia SDK, so I manually flashed the board.

But I found a complete lack of CUDA, cuDNN, OpenCV and other packages.

I need the OpenCV library with CUDA support for computer vision, and I only found a few different unofficial instructions (Install OpenCV on Jetson Nano - Q-engineering, Install CUDA 11 on Jetson Nano and Xavier NX - Latest Open Tech From Seeed, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=art0-99fFa8) that are meant to help install them. Installations and compilations ended up with various errors related to some dependencies or something else (I have little experience with this). I wasn’t sure what I was doing because the initial conditions were different.
My system was on an sd card already. Is it a problem? Maybe the L4T 32.7.1 version is not suitable? I understand that only CUDA 10.2.300 is officially supported, isn’t it? Is it possible to install OpenCV before CUDA, could this cause bugs later on?

So: is there a guaranteed way in my case (assuming I just have a clean Jetson after manually flashing reComputer J1010 | J101 | Seeed Studio Wiki)? Maybe I should to manually put some CUDA packages from here (https://developer.nvidia.com/embedded/linux-tegra-r3271) ? How can I do that? I’ll be glad for any information if it’s really relevant.

Hi,

You will need a CUDA package and a custom OpenCV building from the source.
Please try to install CUDA via OTA so no extra libraries are installed.

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install cuda

Then please build OpenCV from the source.

I seem to be getting a ridiculous error, but I have no idea what to do next so I don’t accidentally make things worse.

What do you see from “apt search cuda”?

It looks like the package name is not “cuda”. Instead, from that list, what happens with this, and is your requirement fulfilled via:
sudo apt-get install cuda-toolkit-10-2
(note that this would be runtime; if you need development headers, then you might also want a “-dev” version, and other tools)

injenus · March 4, 2024, 9:44am

Yes indeed, it worked for me with this command. And then I installed opencv as shown in the reply from @AastaLLL. Thank you very much for your help!
