Install the Holoscan SDK Python bindings via the holoscan-cu12 / holoscan-cu13 pip wheel into a virtual environment, and verify with hello_world and video_replayer.

Extract: exact wheel package names (holoscan-cu12, holoscan-cu13), the supported Python range for the current release, prerequisites that must be on PATH (CUDA Toolkit), and any optional extras (LibTorch / ONNX Runtime version pins). If the doc disagrees with anything below, the doc wins.

CUDA variant rule — pick the pip package:
| nvidia-smi CUDA Version | pip package |
|---|---|
| 13.x+ | holoscan-cu13 |
| 12.x (any GPU) | holoscan-cu12 |
Prerequisites: CUDA Toolkit on PATH, Python 3.10–3.13. Optional extras: LibTorch 2.11.0+, ONNX Runtime 1.22.0+.
Always install into a Python virtual environment — this avoids system-package conflicts and is required on Ubuntu 24.04 (which blocks system-wide pip entirely).
