CUDA 10.1 Installation on Ubuntu 18.04
#!/bin/bash
## This gist contains instructions about cuda v10.1 and cudnn 7.6 installation in Ubuntu 18.04 for Tensorflow 2.1.0
### steps ####
# verify the system has a cuda-capable gpu
# download and install the nvidia cuda toolkit and cudnn
# setup environmental variables
# verify the installation
###
### If you have previous installation remove it first.
sudo apt-get purge nvidia*
sudo apt remove nvidia-*
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cuda*
sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/cuda*
### to verify your gpu is cuda enable check
lspci | grep -i nvidia
### gcc compiler is required for development using the cuda toolkit. to verify the version of gcc install enter
gcc --version
# system update
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
# install other import packages
sudo apt-get install g++ freeglut3-dev build-essential libx11-dev libxmu-dev libxi-dev libglu1-mesa libglu1-mesa-dev
# first get the PPA repository driver
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa

sudo cp -P cuda/lib64/libcudnn* /usr/local/cuda-10.1/lib64/
sudo chmod a+r /usr/local/cuda-10.1/lib64/libcudnn*
# Finally, to verify the installation, check
nvidia-smi
nvcc -V
# install Tensorflow (an open source machine learning framework)
# I choose version 2.1.0 because it is stable and compatible with CUDA 10.1 Toolkit and cuDNN 7.6
sudo pip3 install --user tensorflow-gpu==2.1.0
