This page details the build of our [[DIGITS DevBox]]. There's also a page giving information on [[Using the DevBox]]. nVIDIA, famous for their incredibly poor supply-chain and inventory management, have been saying [https://developer.nvidia.com/devbo "Please note that we are sold out of our inventory of the DIGITS DevBox, and no new systems are being built"] since shortly after the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GeForce_10_series Titax X] was the latest and greatest thing (i.e., somewhere around 2016).

apt remove xrdp

I installed the community edition of PyCharm:
snap install pycharm-community --classic
#Restart the local terminal so that it has updated paths (after a snap install, etc.)
/snap/pycharm-community/214/bin/pycharm.sh
On launch, you get some config options. I chose to install and enable:
*IdeaVim (a VI editor emulator)
*R
*AWS Toolkit
Make a launcher: In /usr/share/applications:
vi pycharm.desktop
[Desktop Entry]

Also, create a launcher on the desktop with the same info.
