### **WSL2 SDK Manager Install**
[NVIDIA's SDK Manager](https://developer.nvidia.com/sdk-manager){: target="_blank"} gives Windows users a Graphical User Interface (GUI) option to install RAPIDS. It also attempts to fix any environment issues before installing RAPIDS or updating RAPIDS, making it ideal for new WSL users.
1. Install the [latest NVIDIA Drivers](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/){: target="_blank"} on the Windows host.
2. Download [SDK Manager's Ubuntu version from their website](https://developer.nvidia.com/sdk-manager){: target="_blank"} (requires sign up or login to NVIDIA's Developer community). Do not install yet. The rest of the instructions assume that your home directory's `Downloads` folder is where the `.deb` file will be stored. If this is not the case, please change the directory, as needed, for your system.
3. Install or update WSL2 and the Ubuntu 22.04 or Ubuntu 24.04 package [using Microsoft's instructions](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install){: target="_blank"}. To install Ubuntu 24.04 from the command line, use this command:
```bash
wsl --install -d Ubuntu-24.04
```
This will install and start Ubuntu in your Windows host system using WSL2. Make your **sudo** password memorable as you will need it in the next two steps.
4. Install and run SDK Manager inside Ubuntu by pasting this into your command line. This command will navigate to your Windows users's `Downloads` folder, from your WSL2 instance, and install the latest SDK Manager `.deb` file that you had downloaded. You will have to enter the sudo password you created when you installed Ubuntu.
```bash
sudo apt update && sudo apt install wslu -y
cd "$(wslpath -au "$(cmd.exe /c 'echo %USERPROFILE%' | tr -d '\r')")/Downloads"
sudo apt install "$(ls -t ./sdkmanager_*_amd64.deb | head -n 1)" -y
sdkmanager
```
5. Sign in when asked, and [follow SDK Manager's RAPIDS installation instructions here](https://docs.nvidia.com/sdk-manager/install-with-sdkm-rapids/index.html){: target="_blank"}.
[NVIDIA's SDK Manager](https://developer.nvidia.com/sdk-manager){: target="_blank"} gives Windows users a Graphical User Interface (GUI) option to install RAPIDS. It automates Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) setup for RAPIDS SDK 25.04 and later, simplifying the installation process.
1. Download [SDK Manager's Windows version from their website](https://developer.nvidia.com/sdk-manager){: target="_blank"} (requires sign up or login to NVIDIA's Developer community).
2. [Follow SDK Manager's RAPIDS installation instructions here](https://docs.nvidia.com/sdk-manager/install-with-sdkm-rapids/index.html){: target="_blank"}.
