OSError: libcufft.so.10: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Install Ubuntu 20.04 on Jetson Nano
when i use torch and install and then
Python 3.8.10 (default, Mar 18 2025, 20:04:55) [GCC 9.4.0] on linux Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

why?
A few showstoppers. This is a very old PyTorch version. Currently, you have 2.9.0. This version is 1.13.0. It all has to do with CUDA. The Jetson Nano has CUDA version 10. A higher version can't be installed simply because of the lack of the right low-level drivers. Hence, every piece of software, PyTorch or Tensorflow, that needs a higher CUDA version can not be used.
In practice, many models require a higher PyTorch version than our 1.13.0. They cannot be applied to the Jetson Nano.
Another important point is the OS. You have an ARM64 system under the hood. Not a x86_64. In other words, most pip installations will fail because they install x86_64 software. Be very careful!
In practice: If you installed packages with pip, remove them first. Next, install the supplied wheels to install PyTorch and TorchVision, as described in the Readme.
I followed your previous guide to install Ubuntu 20.04 on the Jetson Nano. I didn’t directly flash your prebuilt image — instead, I went through the installation steps one by one.
After the installation, running nvcc -V showed that the CUDA version was 13.0. Then, I tried installing PyTorch, but it failed. Later, I reinstalled the CUDA version that comes with the NVIDIA SDK, and the CUDA version changed to 10.2.
After that, I was able to successfully install PyTorch and torchvision, but when I ran my code, it kept showing the error:
RuntimeError: cuDNN error: CUDNN_STATUS_NOT_INITIALIZED
Then I executed the following commands:
sudo apt remove libcudnn8 sudo apt install libcudnn8=8.2.1.*+cuda10.2
and everything worked fine after that.
