I have a jetson nano and when i try to install the SDK manager it is unable to find the package.
Interesting thing is when i download the sdk manager from here: (Download and Run SDK Manager :: NVIDIA SDK Manager Documentation) i receive this file: (sdkmanager-0.9.12.4180.tar.gz) which is not .deb as in (sudo apt install ./sdkmanager-[version].[build#].deb ) you can now see a discrepancy here, the file is .tar.gz and not .deb
Lets fix it by converting it from .tar.gz to .deb with “sudo alien -d sdkmanager-0.9.12.4180.tar.gz”
Now i ran the command sudo apt install ./sdkmanager-0.9.12.4180.deb
It gets installed.
In a terminal window i write: sdkmanager and it returns “Command NOT found”
Sudo sdkmanager and it returns Command NOT found

Downloading the .deb file directly and attempting to install it results in the following
sudo apt install ./sdkmanager_0.9.12-4180_amd64.deb

Hi mczemek,
There seems issue at downloading sever, please wait for a while, then try again at later today.
Thanks
Still waiting, can you link me an old version to download?
Please try again now, we have a new release today, see
[url]JetPack 4.2.1 - L4T R32.2 release for Jetson Nano, Jetson TX1/TX2, and Jetson AGX Xavier - Announcements - NVIDIA Developer Forums
Thanks
facing the same problem.
the new link issued the same problem
Yeah tried again with the new link and cant get the SDKManager to install. Looks like the SDKManager has not been updated and appears that people have issues with the JetPack version too.

Got this with the brand new release
On the host you might try the following:
- sudo apt update
- sudo apt --fix-broken install
- sudo apt-get install libgconf-2-4 libcanberra-gtk-module python
Then see if you can continue.

I ran

sudo apt-get install libgconf-2-4 libcanberra-gtk-module python
sudo apt install ./sdkmanager_0.9.13-4763_amd64.deb
Still fails to install as above.
Instead of “sudo apt install” try “sudo dpkg -i ./sdkmanager…” (make sure file name is a match to what you have). If that fails, copy and paste a log of the error message (it might take several iterations of failures and tests to figure out a solution…hopefully the error message has changed).
The documentation does not say it but apparently the SDKmanager cannot be installed directly on the Jetson Nano but has to be installed on a host running Ubuntu.
Is this true?

Ahh! Yes, I thought this was being performed on a PC host. JetPack/SDK Manager should outright reject running on the Jetson (a PC architecture “.deb” should be rejected on an ARMv8-a/arm64 platform…and even if it wasn’t, then the actual attempt to run the application should fail). JetPack/SDKM is an installer front end…what the installer runs adds to the Jetson, but does not itself go to the Jetson.

Thanks guys for sharing your thoughts - The outcome of multiple trials and errors for me was that as @mczemek said, sdk manager is not meant to be installed directly on the jetson nano. Instead, the sdk has to be installed on an ubuntu host machine e.g. a laptop, and then indirectly be installed on your target machine (in this case jetson nano) (you can read all the instruction at NVIDIA SDK Manager | NVIDIA Developer).
There is another way to install the SDK which is to use the image file available at Jetson Download Center | NVIDIA Developer - download the image file and flash the image to an sd card, and then boot your jetson nano from scratch using the sd card. This way once the nano is set up and booted, all the jetpack4.1 stuff will be preinstalled on your board.
hope it helps
thanks mans_a!
dpkg: error processing archive ./sdkmanager_1.0.0-5517_amd64.deb (–install):
package architecture (amd64) does not match system (arm64)
Errors were encountered while processing:
./sdkmanager_1.0.0-5517_amd64.deb
I cant solve this problem… what i can do this process??
Plz help me!
and “the sdk has to be installed on an ubuntu host machine e.g. a laptop, and then indirectly be installed on your target machine”
what is ubuntu host machine? ,also indirectly means copy or migration?
The SDK Manager is installed to an Ubuntu host PC, not the Jetson. In recovery mode the Jetson becomes a custom USB device understood only by the driver package (which is what SDKM installs on the host).
Ubuntu 18.04 LTS is the version of Ubuntu you would use, and this should installed to a regular desktop PC. You can dual boot with something else, e.g., Windows. VMs tend to not work well, it takes a lot of patience to get around the issues of a VM (VMs do not correctly pass through USB and ethernet in most cases unless you dedicate the port to the VM). That package runs on the Ubuntu PC.
Embedded systems do not have a BIOS. All of the steps a motherboard with a BIOS would perform, e.g., setting up power rails and clocks and memory, have to instead be done in software. Thus, most embedded systems cannot self-flash and the PC basically combines with recovery mode to act like the BIOS functions.

A VM environment is understood to mean a virtual machine.
Is the correct way to install PCUbuntu with Windows partitioned and insert the sdk manager with the jetson nano micro sd card?
It’s hard to understand because I’m not a developer.
I want to know if it’s correct when searching.
I look forward to your reply.
And thank you for the previous answer.
