Ubuntu 20.04 for Deep Learning

In the name of God

This gist contains steps to setup Ubuntu 20.04 for deep learning.


Install Ubuntu 20.04:

  • Computer name: Name-PC
  • Name: Name
  • User name: name
  • Password: ********

Update Ubuntu:

$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt full-upgrade --yes
$ sudo apt autoremove --yes
$ sudo apt autoclean --yes
$ reboot

Create Update Script:

  • Create a file (~/full-update.sh) with the following lines:
#!/bin/bash

if [ "$EUID" -ne 0 ]
  then echo "Error: Please run as root."
  exit
fi

clear

echo "################################################################################"
echo "Updating list of available packages..."

apt update
echo "################################################################################"
echo

echo "################################################################################"
echo "Upgrading the system by removing/installing/upgrading packages..."
echo "--------------------------------------------------------------------------------"
apt full-upgrade --yes
echo "################################################################################"
echo

echo "################################################################################"
echo "Removing automatically all unused packages..."
echo "--------------------------------------------------------------------------------"
apt autoremove --yes
echo "################################################################################"

  • $ sudo apt install python3 python3-wheel python3-pip python3-venv python3-dev python3-setuptools

Install NVIDIA Drivers for Deep Learning:

  • https://www.tensorflow.org/install/gpu
  • TensorFlow and CUDA compatibilities:
  • Check Hardware:
    • $ sudo lshw -C display
  • Install NVIDIA GPU Driver:
    • Software & Updates > Additional Drivers > NVIDIA
  • Install CUDA Toolkit (CUDA 11.0):
    1. Install prerequisites:
      • $ sudo apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
    2. Install cuda_11.0.3_450.51.06_linux.run (without Driver, use --override if gcc version not supported)
    3. Set up the development environment by modifying the PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH variables (~/.bashrc):
      • export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/cuda-11.0/bin
      • export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/cuda-11.0/lib64:/usr/local/cuda-11.0/extras/CUPTI/lib64
    4. Check that GPUs are visible using the command:
      • $ nvidia-smi
  • Install cuDNN v8.0.5, for CUDA 11.0:
  • Reboot

Machine Learning Environment:

$ python3 -m venv ~/venv/ml
$ source ~/venv/ml/bin/activate
(ml) $ pip install --upgrade wheel pip
(ml) $ pip install --upgrade numpy scipy matplotlib ipython jupyter pandas sympy nose
