From 77619f65b4f4dcf054175adb57bf0cd1473dd70e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Raffaele Mancuso Date: Tue, 22 Jul 2025 10:56:52 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] The Windows version of the SDK now installs RAPIDS From the docs: "For Windows users, NVIDIA SDK Manager 2.3.0 introduces a Windows client that automates Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) setup for RAPIDS SDK 25.04 and later, simplifying the installation process. Previously, Windows users had to manually set up WSL, run the Linux version of SDK Manager inside it, then use SDK Manager to install RAPIDS SDK. Now, Windows clients automatically set up the WSL instance and then install RAPIDS SDK within it." --- install/index.md | 19 +++---------------- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 16 deletions(-) diff --git a/install/index.md b/install/index.md index 5d0a461876b..82f43701468 100644 --- a/install/index.md +++ b/install/index.md @@ -335,22 +335,9 @@ Windows users can now tap into GPU accelerated data science on their local machi
