**The smallest computer in the Jetson family is the Jetson Nano. The Jetson Nano is a small, powerful AI computer that allows you to run multiple neural networks in parallel.**

There are several use cases for which you can use the Jetson Nano. Examples are: Image classification, object recognition, segmentation and speech processing. For this, the platform requires only 5 watts. The explanations in this tutorial were tested on a Jetson Nano, but should work on all Jetson systems.

Nvidia-smi is not supported on Jetson Platform. Instead nvidia-smi you can use [jetson-stats](https://rnext.it/jetson_stats/){:target="_blank" rel="noopener"}. ## Install jetson-stats First, update and upgrade your system: ```bash sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade ``` Then install jetson-stats: ```bash sudo apt install python-pip -y # install jetson-stats sudo -H pip install jetson-stats # reboot jetson sudo reboot ``` Usage: ```bash jtop ```

With jtop, some information about the state of the system can be retrieved. You can find more information on [Github](https://github.com/rbonghi/jetson_stats){:target="_blank" rel="noopener"}.
