  1. Ubuntu-20.04 x86, for various reasons, I need to run it on native envs, instead of docker container.

followed this page Updating the CUDA Linux GPG Repository Key | NVIDIA Technical Blog, installed the new signing key, then based on this page Holoscan Debian Packages | NVIDIA NGC,

sudo apt install holoscan

After downloaded the deb package, got the following error when installing

Hello jinl, thanks for your prompt reply.

I finally managed to put holoscan deb package onto ubuntu x86 machine, however it messed up the system again due to various version of cuda drivers put on the machine as holoscan requires cuda-11.6. Thanks anyway.
