Sudo cp Samples/common/inc/*.h /usr/local/include/ Extract the zip file you download and open the extracted directory in your terminal of choice. You will need to head to here and create a free developer account to download the nvidia SDK.
Step 1 - Download and install the nVidia SDK Ideally you should just install the latest stable version - as of my writing this I have tested with the 378 driver. Step 0 - Install the latest nVidia driverįirst things first - to use technology that comes from the closed source nvidia driver you need to install said driver. Today we are going to go through the steps it takes to compile OBS with NVENC support on Ubuntu. Because this is a closed source technology though, support for NVENC is not compiled into OBS by default. nVidia graphics cards specifically can leverage a technology called NVENC to offload the video encoding from your processor to your graphics card.
Thankfully graphics cards tend to have a lot more processing power for specific tasks like this than a traditional processor does. Even faster computers often run a bit more slowly when using their CPU to encode the video they are sending out to the live stream. Processing live video is a task that is very resource intensive though and often chews up a good deal of processing power on whatever computer is doing it. Open Broadcast Software (or OBS for short) is an open source application for streaming video to online services such as or YouTube live.
