Prime-run command not found

Command prime-run outputs prime-run: command not found. I have Ubuntu 20.04.3 and nvidia-driver-470

Solution 1:

I have the same nvidia driver version and for some reason prime-run command does not exist.

I just solved it by doing the following:

1. Copy contents of the gist here

   #!/bin/bash
   export __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1
   export __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia
   export __VK_LAYER_NV_optimus=NVIDIA_only
   export VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/nvidia_icd.json
   exec "$@"
   

2. Create a file ~/bin/prime-run ("~" means your home directory)
3. Paste the contents there.
4. Run chmod +x "~/bin/prime-run" to make it executable.

You might want to re-open your terminal or restart your session so your terminal could recognize your ~/bin folder and be able to run prime-run command, that is, if the folder is not already there.
