Install Obsidian on Nvidia Jetson

Obsidian

Powerful knowledge base using plain text Markdown files (for note-taking & project management)

Note-taking is incredibly personal. Tried every app, but something always irks you? You deserve better.
For those who can't custom-build a solution for themselves, Obsidian is as close as you can get, with plugins, themes, and custom CSS at your disposal.

With Obsidian, your data sits in a local folder. Never leave your life's work held hostage in the cloud again.

Vibrant Community
With more than 50,000 members in our Discord chat and 30,000 members on our forum, Obsidian has one of the largest note-taking communities.
Our community welcomes anyone who uses Obsidian or is interested in Obsidian, no matter your language, country, or field. Come join us!
