Building from Source (C++/CUDA)

This will build and install the C++/CUDA library (libjetson-utils.so) along with the Python extension module:

git clone https://github.com/dusty-nv/jetson-utils
cd jetson-utils
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ../
make -j$(nproc)
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig

If you're missing dependencies, run the jetson-inference/CMakePreBuild.sh script.

Install with Pip (Python only)

This will install the Python-native modules from python/jetson_utils which do not depend on the C++ extension bindings and get installed on top:

pip3 install -e /path/to/your/jetson-utils

Or directly from GitHub:

pip3 install git+https://github.com/dusty-nv/jetson-utils
