# If you already have the recommended nvidia drivers skip to "install other import packages"
# OPTION 1 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
# Install recommended drivers, if your recommended drivers is older than the requirements for CUDA 10
# then your system may not be suitable for CUDA 10, see system requirements here:
# https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/archive/10.0/cuda-installation-guide-linux/index.html#system-requirements
sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall

# OPTION 2 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
# Find nvidia driver fit for your system at https://www.nvidia.com/download/index.aspx?lang=en-us
