Dear NVIDIA Support Team,

We are currently working on a Jetson-based embedded AI deployment (Jetson Nano running JetPack 4.6.5) and accessing the device remotely via SSH in a headless environment.

In our current setup, we do not have access to a GUI environment, and therefore we are unable to use NVIDIA SDK Manager for installation.

We require a fully command-line (SSH/terminal-only) installation approach for both CUDA Toolkit and DeepStream SDK.

However, we are facing challenges due to:

Lack of reliable wget/download links for DeepStream packages

SDK Manager dependency in official installation flow

Unavailability of clear CLI-based installation steps for JetPack 4.6.5 on Jetson Nano

We kindly request guidance on the following:

1. Official method to install CUDA Toolkit via command line (APT/DEB/CLI) without SDK Manager

2. Official method to install DeepStream SDK (compatible with JetPack 4.6.5) completely via SSH/terminal

3. Valid and supported download sources for required packages accessible from Jetson device itself

4. Recommended production deployment approach for headless/SSH-only Jetson systems

5. Best practices for setting up CUDA + DeepStream in remote embedded deployments without GUI tools

Our requirement is strictly for a stable, production-ready installation method that does not depend on SDK Manager or desktop environment.

System Details:

Device: Jetson Nano

JetPack: 4.6.5 (L4T R32.7.x)

Access Mode: SSH only (headless system)

Use Case: AI / Computer Vision / DeepStream-based edge inference

Request:
We would appreciate if NVIDIA could provide an officially supported CLI/SSH-only installation procedure for CUDA Toolkit and DeepStream SDK for this configuration.
