Instructions for CUDA v11.8 and cuDNN 8.9.7 installation on Ubuntu 22.04 for PyTorch 2.1.2
#!/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.
