Prerequisites

Clone this git repository:

Supported branches: main

git clone https://github.com/NVIDIA/apt-packaging-fabric-manager

Download a NVIDIA fabricmanager tarball:

• https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/redist/fabricmanager/

  ex: fabricmanager-linux-x86_64-460.32.03.tar.gz

Install build dependencies

note: these are only needed for building not installation

# Packaging
apt-get install debhelper devscripts dpkg-dev

Building Manually

baseURL="https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/redist"
curl -s $baseURL/redistrib_460.32.03.json | \
jq -r '."fabricmanager" | ."460.32.03" | ."linux-x86_64"' | \
sed "s|^|$baseURL/|"

Create a temp directory

cd apt-packaging-fabric-manager
mkdir build
rsync -a debian build/
