ATTENTION: This documentation is deprecated. As of Spring 2025, DGX Cloud is transitioning to a new cluster powered by H100 GPUs. For current documentation of this updated terminal-based environment, please visit: DGX Cloud: H100 How-To. |
Overview
You can access the DGX Cloud via your own windows machine. This method is a bit more tedious and it is recommended that you use LMM to set up your ngc config so that uploading data is more convenient.
Installing the Nvidia CLI (Command Line Interface)
Download the CLI according to your system specifications. To find your system specifications, press the Windows key and type 'System Information'.
...
Your system information on a Windows machine will look like this. In this case, this is a 64 bit installation of Windows since it is x64-based.
...
Next select the appropriate download of the CLI and install it.
...
Once the install is complete, you will configure the terminal and check if it has installed correctly.
Configuring your Terminal on Windows
Next you will need to configure your terminal such that you can upload your data in a neat and usable format. Press the windows key and type 'Windows PowerShell' to open a powershell terminal. Powershell has many similarities to a linux terminal that you may be familiar with from accessing exiting existing University resources but looks different due to syntax. You can still use commands such as 'cd' and 'ls' just like you can in linux.
...
If done successfully, you will see something similar to the following:
...
You should see your username and lab name in the appropriate spaces.
If you do not see 'univ-of-albany-iad2-ace', ITS has yet to add you to a team such that you can access this part. Please wait for ITS to add you to a team and then regenerate your API key.
Congrats on setting up the terminal! You are now ready to upload your data.
