Once downloaded the image you need to write it to your microSD by following the instructions bellow:
1. Insert the microSD card to your computer and identify the corresponding device:
dmesg | tail | awk '$3 == "sd" {print}'
2. Flash the downloaded image, change /dev/sdx to your corresponding device:
#Change the path if you download the image to another location unzip ~/Downloads/jetson-nx-developer-kit-sd-card-image.zip | sudo dd of=/dev/sdx bs=1M status=progress
3. Remove microSD from your computer
