Setup CUDA

CUDA is an NVIDIA® library used by the ZED SDK to run fast AI and computer vision tasks on your graphics card. During the ZED SDK installation, if CUDA is not detected on your computer, the installer will prompt you to download and install CUDA.

You can skip this step and install CUDA manually from the NVIDIA® CUDA Toolkit archive.

Restart your computer

At the end of the installation, a system restart is required to update the Windows environment variables.

Skipping this step could lead to library not found errors. Make sure to restart your computer, especially if it is the first time the SDK is installed on your machine.

Uninstall the ZED SDK

To remove the ZED SDK from your computer:

  • Open the Windows Settings, then go to Apps › Installed apps (or Add or remove programs on older Windows versions).

  • Find ZED SDK in the list, open its menu, select Uninstall, and follow the prompts.

Alternatively, run the uninstaller located at C:\Program Files (x86)\ZED SDK\unins000.exe.

CUDA is installed separately and is not removed together with the ZED SDK. If you no longer need it, you can uninstall it from Apps › Installed apps as well.
