#!/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. 
sudo apt-get purge nvidia*
sudo apt remove nvidia-*
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cuda*
sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/cuda*

# system update
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

# install other import packages
sudo apt-get install g++ freeglut3-dev build-essential libx11-dev libxmu-dev libxi-dev libglu1-mesa libglu1-mesa-dev

# first get the PPA repository driver
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
sudo apt update

# install nvidia driver with dependencies
sudo apt install libnvidia-common-515
sudo apt install libnvidia-gl-515
sudo apt install nvidia-driver-515

# installing CUDA-11.7
sudo apt install cuda-11-7

sudo chmod a+r /usr/local/cuda-11.7/lib64/libcudnn*

# reboot
sudo reboot

# Finally, to verify the installation, check
nvidia-smi
nvcc -V

# install Pytorch (an open source machine learning framework)
pip install torch torchvision torchaudio --extra-index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu117

@creamlaflare yap that was it. Thank you

I had success with this method after restarting my machine. Thank you! It would be helpful if @X-TRON404 could add the step to restart the machine before verifying the installation and checking.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have done it.

I followed the instruction exactly to install nvidia driver and cuda on Ubuntu 22.04. But get different versions of installation. Below is the first two lines of nvidia-smi:

Fri Jul 7 22:30:59 2023
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| NVIDIA-SMI 535.54.03 Driver Version: 535.54.03 CUDA Version: 12.2 |

nvcc -V shows the correct version:
nvcc: NVIDIA (R) Cuda compiler driver
Copyright (c) 2005-2022 NVIDIA Corporation
Built on Wed_Jun__8_16:49:14_PDT_2022
Cuda compilation tools, release 11.7, V11.7.99
Build cuda_11.7.r11.7/compiler.31442593_0

Do you know what could be the problem? Thank you.

Can you help me with this

I met the same problem and solved it by running
sudo apt full-upgrade
before
sudo apt install cuda-11-7

Thank you! I have made the changes in the gist.

somehow here:

sudo apt install libnvidia-common-515
sudo apt install libnvidia-gl-515
sudo apt install nvidia-driver-515
<<
i got redirected to 535 driver no matter what i do, then /usr/local/cuda-11.7/ its empty

sudo apt install libnvidia-common-515 sudo apt install libnvidia-gl-515 sudo apt install nvidia-driver-515 << i got redirected to 535 driver no matter what i do, then /usr/local/cuda-11.7/ its empty
