You are following the official steps to install the NVIDIA Container Toolkit using a package...

The NVIDIA Container Toolkit (formerly nvidia-docker2) is the essential middleware that allows Docker, Podman, or Containerd to "see" and utilize the host's GPU hardware. The standard installation workflow on Debian-based systems like Ubuntu involves three core phases: repository configuration, package installation, and runtime configuration. Once the GPG key is added (to ensure package integrity) and the .list file is placed in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ (to point to the NVIDIA production servers), the local package index must be refreshed via apt-get update. Immediately following this, the administrator must install the toolkit using the command sudo apt-get install -y nvidia-container-toolkit. Rebooting (Option A) is unnecessary at this stage because no kernel modules have been modified yet. Downloading the CUDA Toolkit (Option D) is a separate step; notably, the Container Toolkit allows containers to run CUDA applications even if the host only has the NVIDIA driver installed, making the driver—not the host CUDA toolkit—the primary prerequisite.
