Description

This PR addresses several gaps in the JetPack installation guide that cause confusion during setup on Nvidia edge hardware.

Changes included:

  1. Missing Repository Context: Added git clone and cd instructions before the build step.
  2. OOM Prevention: Added a .. note:: about potential 'out of memory' crashes when compiling with Bazel on shared memory systems like Jetson Nano/Orin, recommending .bazelrc resource limits (--jobs=2) or a
    swapfile.
  3. Formatting & Hardcoded Wheel: Fixed the broken Markdown formatting in the "Install the Wheel" step and replaced the hardcoded wheel filename with a (torch_tensorrt-*.whl).
