Unable to install nsys (nsight-system CLI)

Hi, all.

I am trying to install night-system CLI. But I can’t find any executable nsys binary file or installation file.

I installed cuda/nsight-system using sdkmanager when I set my xavier.

However, I can’t launch nsys as follows.

$ nsys
Command 'nsys' not found, did you mean:
  command 'sys' from deb openafs-client
Try: sudo apt install <deb name>
$ ./usr/local/cuda/bin/nsys
Error: Nsight Systems 2019.5.2 hasn't been installed with CUDA Toolkit 10.2
$ ./usr/local/cuda-10.2/bin/nsys
Error: Nsight Systems 2019.5.2 hasn't been installed with CUDA Toolkit 10.2

Also, I found this document(Getting Started Guide), but I am still in trouble with executing nsys.

/lib/ld-linux-aarch64.so.1: No such file or directory

Any help will be very appreciated.

Regards.

Hi,

Could you try to run the binary located within bin folder?
Ex.

$ cd /opt/nvidia/nsight-systems/2020.4.2/bin
$ ./nsys-ui

Thanks.

@AastaLLL, Thank you for your reply.

I have tried ./nsys-ui before, however I think it is command for launching Nsight-system GUI version.

But what I really want is Nsight Systems CLI, which provides simple interface to collect target without using GUI.

Is there any way to install/run Nsight systems CLI?

Thanks.

Hi,

Nsight system CLI can be launched on the device directly.

$ cd /opt/nvidia/nsight_systems
$ ./nsys --help

Thanks.

I think the problem here is that you have the wrong nsys.

The CUDA toolkit only contains the Nsight Systems for x86/Power/SBSA arch, if you are using the Tegra kit, you need the Nsight Systems from CodeWorks or JetPack.

Also the 2019.5 release was a year ago, and I don’t think the CLI was available for non-Linux x86 systems at that point. You should get a newer version, you can find it through NVIDIA Nsight Systems | NVIDIA Developer.
