Ubuntu
Remove CUDA Toolkit:
sudo apt-get --purge remove "*cuda*" "*cublas*" "*cufft*" "*cufile*" "*curand*" \
"*cusolver*" "*cusparse*" "*gds-tools*" "*npp*" "*nvjpeg*" "nsight*" "*nvvm*"
Remove NVIDIA Drivers:
sudo apt-get --purge remove "*nvidia*" "libxnvctrl*"
or
sudo apt autoremove nvidia* --purge
Autoremove
sudo apt-get autoremove
Installa Nvidia Drivers and Cuda
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
distribution=$(. /etc/os-release;echo $ID$VERSION_ID | sed -e 's/\.//g')
cd /tmp && wget https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/$distribution/x86_64/cuda-keyring_1.0-1_all.deb && sudo dpkg -i cuda-keyring_1.0-1_all.deb && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y install cuda-drivers
Add cuda to PATH. Change X.Y with the cuda version
export PATH=/usr/local/cuda-X.Y/bin${PATH:+:${PATH}} && export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/cuda-X.Y/lib64\ ${LD_LIBRARY_PATH:+:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}}
Reboot
sudo reboot
Check if nvidia-persistenced is running otherwise enable it
systemctl status nvidia-persistenced
sudo systemctl enable nvidia-persistenced
Check if installation was successful
nvidia-smi
nvcc --version
if Cuda toolkit is not installed follow these instructions:
wget https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/ubuntu2204/x86_64/cuda-keyring_1.1-1_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i cuda-keyring_1.1-1_all.deb
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -y install cuda-toolkit-12-3
