Install CUDA 10.0 and cuDNN v7.4.2 on Ubuntu 16.04

Originally posted on: https://matheustguimaraes.com/blog/cuda-cudnn-ubuntu-installation

Install the latest NVIDIA driver

Update package lists, download and install NVIDIA driver

sudo apt-get update
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
sudo apt install nvidia-410

Reboot

Restart the computer

reboot

Testing

Lets test if all worked well

nvidia-smi

If appears something like:

Download CUDA Toolkit

Download the CUDA Toolkit on NVIDIA official website https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads

You have to make some choices about your machine to download the file

My machine:

  • Linux
  • x86_64
  • Ubuntu
  • 16.04
  • runfile (local)

Go to the download folder

After download the file, go to the download folder:

cd Downloads

Run the file

sudo sh cuda_10.0.130_410.48_linux.run

You have to make some choices in the terminal:

  • Install NVIDIA Accelerated Graphics Driver for Linux-x86_64 384.81? n
  • Install the CUDA 10.0 Toolkit? y
  • Do you want to install a symbolic link at /usr/local/cuda? y
  • Install the CUDA 10.0 Samples? y

Leave the rest as default. ENTER

Testing

Let's test if everything worked well

Install cuDNN

Download cuDNN v7.4.2 (Dec 14, 2018), for CUDA 10.0

Download the cuDNN on NVIDIA official website https://developer.nvidia.com/cudnn

NOTE: You have to sign up at NVIDIA website before

Download the three packages:

  • cuDNN Runtime Library for Ubuntu16.04 (Deb)
  • cuDNN Developer Library for Ubuntu16.04 (Deb)
  • cuDNN Code Samples and User Guide for Ubuntu16.04 (Deb)

Go to downloads folder

cd Downloads

Install the .deb packages

sudo dpkg -i libcudnn7_7.4.2.24-1+cuda10.0_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i libcudnn7-dev_7.4.2.24-1+cuda10.0_amd64.deb 
sudo dpkg -i libcudnn7-doc_7.4.2.24-1+cuda10.0_amd64.deb

Export CUDA path

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/cuda-10.0/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export PATH=/usr/local/cuda-10.0/bin:$PATH

Reload bash

source ~/.bashrc

Testing

Go in your /usr/src and copy the 'cudnn_samples_v7' to any folder you want, to test if all worked well. In my case, I paste it in 'Desktop' folder.

cd Desktop/cudnn_samples_v7/mnistCUDNN/
make clean && make
./mnistCUDNN

If appears something like:

You installed it everything with great success.

Everything is ready for you to use the GPU and do great things.

Have a nice day!

It would be useful to have this line before the first line i.e. 'sudo apt-get update':
"sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa"

After installing Cuda, I had to compile the files at /usr/local/cuda/samples/ using: sudo make -k before the Testing part.
Only then did my Testing succeeded.

How we can check cudnn version if installed using .deb? if we installed using .run we can check using
cat /usr/local/cuda/include/cudnn.h | grep CUDNN_MAJOR -A 2

Hi
Thank you. It worked for me.

After Installing I could see 2 versions of cudnn as follows

When I have installed tensorflow-gpu==1.5 version and try to check the version, ERROR: 'Failed to load the native TensorFlow runtime' is shown. So when I have checked the reason in https://www.tensorflow.org/install/source#common_installation_problems
I could see this information:

So, Now I need only 1 cudnn to be on my pc. I want to uninstall cudnn 7.4.2.
How can I do that

thanks in advance
