A.4. Installing Docker Containers
This method applies to Docker containers hosted on the NVIDIA NGC Container Registry, and
requires that you have an active NGC account.
1. On a system with internet access, log in to the NGC Container Registry by entering the
following command and credentials.
$ docker login nvcr.io
Username:
$oauthtoken
Password:
apikey
2. Type $oauthtoken exactly as shown for the Username.
This is a special username that enables API key authentication. In place of apikey, paste in
the API Key text that you obtained from the NGC website.
3. Enter the docker pull command, specifying the image registry, image repository, and tag:
$ docker pull nvcr.io/nvidia/repository:tag
4. Verify the image is on your system using docker images.
$ docker images
5. Save the Docker image as an archive.
$ docker save nvcr.io/nvidia/repository:tag > framework.tar
