Hint
Before installing Isaac Sim, install and run the lightweight app Isaac Sim Compatibility Checker to check if the machine meets the system requirements and compatibility.

Note
The Isaac Sim container is only supported on Linux.
An Internet connection is required to access the Isaac Sim assets online and to run some extensions.
GPUs without RT Cores (A100, H100) are not supported.
Due to VRAM constraints, some tutorials and benchmarks may not run on cards below the minimum spec [2]. Workflows leveraging a large number of sensors are particularly affected.
Driver Requirements#
See Technical Requirements for recommended driver versions.
Note
See Linux Troubleshooting to resolve driver installation issues on Linux.
We recommend installing the Latest Production Branch Version drivers from the Unix Driver Archive using the
.run
installer on Linux, if you are on a new GPU or experiencing issues with the current drivers.
