You can use the sdk install or the toolchain install subcommands for managing SDK and toolchains directly to install only the SDK or only the toolchain, respectively.
Note
The sdk-manager command does not support toolchain installation with Linux ARM64 installation of nRF Util.
For example:
-
The following command installs only the v2.8.0 SDK bundle:
nrfutil sdk-manager sdk install v2.8.0 -
The following command installs only the v2.8.0 toolchain bundle:
nrfutil sdk-manager toolchain install --ncs-version v2.8.0 -
The following command installs only a toolchain bundle that matches the provided toolchain bundle ID:
nrfutil sdk-manager toolchain install --toolchain-bundle-id 15b490767d
