- Assumptions & Limitations
- Preparations
- Installation — CUDA & CUDNN
- Test Installation
This article will show you how to setup the machine with several assumptions & limitations:
- You are using Ubuntu (Ubuntu 22.04).
- You have Nvidia GPU/s installed on your machine.
- You have sudo privileges on your machine.
So, if you are aware of the mentioned assumptions, you will find this article useful. Let’s start!
Check GPU compatibility and compute capability:
Mine GPU is a GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER with a computing capability of 7.5. Let’s check drive support for this GPU:
