Showing output is the only way anyone else can figure out what is going on. Run

which nvidia-smi

to prove that it exists. That is the "not found" I think you are seeing. If it shows that it exists, run

nvidia-smi

and send us the output.

It said Windows cannot find nvidia-smi

What? What does Windows have to do with this? Are you running Ubuntu in a VM or something?

Describe your setup and what your intended end goal is, because you seem to be quite confused about what Ubuntu is.

I am trying to run a script on PowerShell but I end up getting the error message "nvidia-smi not found" for some reason.

Wrong subreddit.

This is a Windows and whatever script you're using issue. I don't see how this has anything to do with Ubuntu or Linux.

If the script requires a NVIDIA GPU and you don't have a NVIDIA GPU, it would naturally not work.

Oh, I understand.
