Installing

  1. 2. Pre-Installation Testing

    Then Verify on CUDA Capable GPU.

    lspci | grep -i nvidia

    But if you do Not see any NVIDIA hardware on Output then first install:

    sudo update-pciids

    Then try Again…

  2. 3. Installing Kernel Headers

    Next Install Elementary OS’s Kernel Headers.

    sudo apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r)

    If Got “User is Not in Sudoers file” then see: How to Enable sudo

  3. 4. Setting Up Repo

    See How Setup CUDA 10 Repository for Elementary OS

    Elementary OS CUDA Repo Setup
  4. 5. Installing CUDA 10

    Finally, Install CUDA 10 Toolkit in Elementary OS
    To search for the Available releases:

    sudo apt search cuda-10

    Then for instance, to Install CUDA 10.1:

    sudo apt install cuda-10-1

    Or at this time simply:

    sudo apt install cuda
  5. 6. Setting Up Path

    Again Setup PATH Env Variable.
    This is necessary to Find the Binaries on System:

    echo 'export PATH=/usr/local/cuda-10.0/bin${PATH:+:${PATH}}' > $HOME/.bashrc

    Possibly Amend the 10.0 with the Actual Version
    And Reload Configuration simply with:

    bash
