Hi there.

I am attempting to generate an engine with tao-converter for use on the nano. I am using the version of tao-converter for jetson devices that the link in the detectnet_v2 jupyter notebook points to (zip/folder name “clara_agx”). I am following the “Instructions for Jetson” in the “deploying to deepstream-detectnet-v2” documentation. and then the Readme.txt. inside the “clara_agx” folder in “Home” on the nano.
When I run “./tao-converter -h” I get:
“bash: ./tao-converter: permission denied”
I have tried with “chown root:root” and “chown peter:peter”
If I simply use “tao-converter -h”, I get:
“bash: tao-converter: command not found”

please advise

How about
$ chmod +x tao-converter

Thank you Morganh.

Apologies but could you confirm that the -k would be the NGC API key?

[Morganh]

Yes. It is the key when you train the model. If the model is downloaded from ngc, you can find the key in its model card.
