3. Add the ROS source in your device according to [ROS2_documentation on GitHub](https://github.com/ros2/ros2_documentation/blob/jazzy/source/Installation/_Apt-Repositories.rst).
4. Add the Qualcomm public personal package (PPA) archive to the Ubuntu software sources of your development kit.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-qcom-iot/qcom-ppa
        sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-qcom-iot/qirp

5. Install and configure the QIR SDK.

    1. Install QIR SDK using the respective commands for server and desktop.

        - For the **server image**, install the QIR SDK using the following commands:

> 
> 
> Note
> 
> 
> Arduino® Ventuno Q™ doesn't support the server image. For Ventuno Q devices, install the desktop image only.

sudo apt install qirp-sdk
                Copy to clipboard
        - For the **desktop image**, install the QIR SDK using the following commands:

sudo apt install qirp-sdk-desktop
                Copy to clipboard

Note

The desktop image doesn't include the color-space package and GPU acceleration features for the nn interface manager package due to system limitations.
    2. Set up the QIR SDK using the script.

source /usr/share/qirp-setup.sh
