Hi Carlos,
Thank you for reaching out! Did you set "-T cuda=C:/Program Files/NVIDIA
GPU Computing Toolkit/CUDA/v12.6" in your cmake command line?
Please note the following information from the document at
https://api.projectchrono.org/tutorial_install_chrono.html
"For users with multiple side-by-side CUDA installations, the desired
version can be selected by specifying the appropriate toolchain in CMake
(e.g., -T cuda=C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v12.8)."
Best,
Bocheng Zou

Hello everyone,
I am sure this is an easy fix but I am really struggling with the
basics of the Chrono installation. I would like to do DEM Modelling
and I am following the installation guide.
1. Downloaded Visual Studio 2022 Community
2. Installed CMake 4.1.0
3. Installed Source tree
4. Installed CUDA GPU Computing Toolkit v13.0 (Windows 11 x64).
1. Path: C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v13.0
5. Thrust came with CUDA
6. Installed Eigen 3.4.0
1. Path: C:\packages\eigen-3.4.0
7. Used GIT to create repository in C:/workspace/chrono, where I
pushed the chrono extracted zip
8. Followed the cmake-gui guide exactly as shown.
9. Specified correctly Eigen PATH.
10. Click Configure
I have tried specifying the Entry CUDAToolkit_ROOT Path set
as C:/Program Files/NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit/CUDA/v13
Also specifying my GPU in CHRONO_CUDA_ARCHITECTURE set as string 89. I
have a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 laptop
I have tried uninstalling and re-installing everything. Updates NVIDIA
drivers, tried uninstalling CUDA Toolkit version 13 and used 12.6 as a
friend said it worked for him. Nothing is working
_*I get the following log:*_
