You can verify your system meets these requirements with the following commands:

### **Checking Ubuntu Version**

```
lsb_release -a
```

**Checking NVIDIA GPU and Driver Installation**

```
curl --version
```

If curl is not installed, you can install it with:

```
sudo apt update
sudo apt install curl
```
