For example, the following command installs both the SDK bundle and its corresponding toolchain bundle for the nRF Connect SDK v2.8.0:
nrfutil sdk-manager install v2.8.0
Tip
This command installs the bundles at the installation location specified in the configuration settings. If you want to install at a different location, use the --install-dir flag or change your configuration settings.
The installation can take several minutes. The command prints the information about the installation progress to the console (together with the installation location):
> nrfutil sdk-manager install v2.8.0

Note
- If you have either an SDK or a toolchain bundle already installed, this command installs the missing bundle for the provided version.
- If the SDK version you are installing is reusing a toolchain version that you have already installed, the command will not install the toolchain again.
The install command can use the --install-dir flag. It also features completion for bundles that are available to install.
After you installed an SDK or toolchain version, you can use the nrfutil sdk-manager list command to show all installations on your computer. See Advanced listing and searching for more information.
