Yes, you just download and install it.

[Download nvJPEG2000](https://developer.nvidia.com/nvjpeg2000-downloads)

There are examples on:

[GitHub - NVIDIA/CUDALibrarySamples: CUDA Library Samples](https://github.com/NVIDIA/CUDALibrarySamples)

- Select the nvJPEG2000
- It is a few years old, but looks like it was updated 3 weeks ago
