If you lose the API key, you can generate a new one and the old one will be invalidated

AMD64 Linux NGC CLI Installation

This section follows this guide to installing the AMD64 Linux version of NGC CLI.

Move to the directory you would like to store NGC CLI and run:

wget -O ngccli_linux.zip https://ngc.nvidia.com/downloads/ngccli_linux.zip && unzip -o ngccli_linux.zip && chmod u+x ngc

Add current directory to path:

echo "export PATH=\"\$PATH:$(pwd)\"" >> ~/.bashrc && source ~/.bashrc

The original code appends .bash_profile, but only .bashrc worked for me.

Run ngc config set, enter your API key, enter ascii, then enter the choices given until NGC is configured.
