Hi

The message from the script should be more explicit, but it's saying that it didn't found a matching cuda version (11.0 in that case).

While your driver is compatible ("CUDA version" displayed by nvidia-smi), your cuda installation is too old. nvcc report "9.1" but it should match 11.0. The ZED SDK installer should have picked up on that and offer to install cuda 11.0. But you may have multiple cuda version setup and the default point to 9.1?

I suggest installing cuda 11.0 and removing other versions of cuda if possible, then retrying.

Just in case here's how to manually download the python package for this platform:

wget https://download.stereolabs.com/zedsdk/3.5/ubuntu18/cu110/py37 -O pyzed-3.5-cp37-cp37m-linux_x86_64.whl
