Installing region-specific SDKs and toolchains

You can use the --region flag to install SDKs and toolchains from region-specific indexes. By default, the install command uses the default region (corresponding to .com domain names for downloads). The --region flag allows you to specify a different region to download from.

Note

The sdk-manager command does not support toolchain installation with Linux ARM64 installation of nRF Util.

For example, use the following command to install the nRF Connect SDK v2.8.0 from the People's Republic of China:

nrfutil sdk-manager install v2.8.0 --region cn

You can also use the --region flag with the sdk install and toolchain install subcommands:

nrfutil sdk-manager sdk install v2.8.0 --region cn
nrfutil sdk-manager toolchain install --ncs-version v2.8.0 --region cn

Tip

To search for SDKs and toolchains available in specific regions, use --region flag with the search command.
Alternatively to the --region flag, you can set the NRFUTIL_REGION environment variable to avoid specifying the flag on every command. The environment variable takes the same values and behaves in the same way as the --region flag. See Environment variables for more information.
