How to run Nvidia Cosmos on Ubuntu 22.04
In this tutorial, you'll learn how to quickly set up Ubuntu 22.04 to run Nvidia Cosmos. This involves installing the necessary drivers, Docker, and CUDA dependencies.
Thanks to the Google Developers Experts program for providing the infra for this experiment 🧪
Prequisites
- Ubuntu 22.04 doh.
- A beefy Nvidia GPU. 30Gb+ of VRAM. Either Blackwell, Hopper, or Ampere.
- 200Gb+ of local storage.
Step1: Run Script 1
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FelipeLujan/GCPexperiments/refs/heads/master/NvidiaCosmos/prepare_ubuntu%20_part1.sh | bash
Script 1 updates Ubuntu, installs Nvidia drivers, and reboots to finalize changes.
Script 2
Run once your is back up.
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FelipeLujan/GCPexperiments/refs/heads/master/NvidiaCosmos/prepare_ubuntu_part2.sh | bash
Script 2 installs Docker, configures the Nvidia toolkit, then clones and builds the Cosmos repository.
If you see something like this at the end of Script 2, congratulations, your docker container is almost ready to run Cosmos.

PROMPT="A sleek, humanoid robot stands in a vast warehouse filled with neatly stacked cardboard boxes on industrial shelves. \
The robot's metallic body gleams under the bright, even lighting, highlighting its futuristic design and intricate joints. \
A glowing blue light emanates from its chest, adding a touch of advanced technology. The background is dominated by rows of boxes, \
suggesting a highly organized storage system. The floor is lined with wooden pallets, enhancing the industrial setting. \
The camera remains static, capturing the robot's poised stance amidst the orderly environment, with a shallow depth of \
field that keeps the focus on the robot while subtly blurring the background for a cinematic effect."
