Instructions for CUDA v11.8 and cuDNN 8.7 installation on (wsl) Ubuntu 22.04 for PyTorch 2.0.0
#!/bin/bash
### steps ####
# verify the system has a cuda-capable gpu
# download and install the nvidia cuda toolkit and cudnn
# setup environmental variables
# verify the installation
###
### to verify your gpu is cuda enable check
lspci | grep -i nvidia
### If you have previous installation remove it first.
