Docker image on NGC vs. building from source

Q: Is better to get the docker image from NGC Catalog or follow the tutorials to build it from source using run_dev.sh?

A: I recommend following the getting started guide for simplicity. The initial build will take some time, so you may want to let it run while you do other tasks. Docker is pre-installed on Jetson Orin Nano, so you can use its commands to manage containers. Pulling pre-built images from NGC may allow you to skip the build time, but I haven't tried it myself.
