Verify CUDA installation in Ubuntu 18.06

  • 772

I'm having problem after installing cuda on my computer.

The nvidia-smi command shows me this :

The nvcc --version command shows me this :

When I tried to use 'sudo apt install nvidia-cuda-toolkit', it installs CUDA version 9.

I would like to set CUDA Version: 11.1 as the default version. And when I use nvcc I would like it to shows me CUDA versions 11.1.

Thank you in advance for your help.

nvidia cuda 18.04

  1. General instructions for installing CUDA Toolkit 11.4 can be found here.

    When I used the "deb (network)" installation option, I did NOT see it installed in the expected location (/usr/local/cuda-11.4/bin).

    However, using the "deb (local)" installation option, I was able to confirm the installation.

    After that, it was just a matter of setting up the path to point to the install location, as mentioned in the documentation, here:

    export PATH=/usr/local/cuda-11.4/bin${PATH:+:${PATH}}

    After running this, I was able to confirm that the correct version of nvcc was installed:

    $nvcc --version
