Tutorial: CUDA v10.2 + CUDNN v7.6.5 Installation @ Ubuntu 18.04

Installation of CUDA v10.2 and cuDNN v7.6.5 @ Ubuntu 18.04

In this story, I will talk about the installation of CUDA v10.2 and cuDNN v7.6.5. (Sik-Ho Tsang)

Outline

1. CUDA v10.2 Installation
2. cuDNN v7.6.5 Installation

1. CUDA v10.2 Installation

• Go to https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads
• Select the target platform based on your OS setting.
• I chose to use runfile (local) for installation. There will be installation instructions to follow. My instruction at this moment is:

wget http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/10.2/Prod/local_installers/cuda_10.2.89_440.33.01_linux.run

• After downloading, run the second script. (If you have installed an updated GPU driver, you can uncheck to not install the driver during the installation.)

sudo sh cuda_10.2.89_440.33.01_linux.run

• Then, edit the ~/.bashrc.

sudo gedit ~/.bashrc

• Add the following to the end of file:

export PATH=/usr/local/cuda/bin:$PATH  
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/cuda/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

• Run the ~/.bashrc again.

source /.bashrc

• Check the CUDA version to see if it is successfully installed.

nvcc -V

2. cuDNN v7.6.5 Installation

• Go to login and download cuDNN v7.6.5 for CUDA v10.2. There are 3 deb files. That’s it.

sudo dpkg -i libcudnn7_7.6.5.32-1+cuda10.2_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i libcudnn7-dev_7.6.5.32-1+cuda10.2_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i libcudnn7-doc_7.6.5.32-1+cuda10.2_amd64.deb

• To verify, copy the sample files to :

cp -r /usr/src/cudnn_samples_v7/ ~

• Then change the directory:

cd ~/cudnn_samples_v7/mnistCUDNN

• Make file:

make clean && make

• If failed to install, it should not able to make. One of the solutions is to edit cudnn.h:

sudo gedit  /usr/include/cudnn.h

• Change #include “driver_types.h” to #include <driver_types.h>.
• Then try to make again:

make clean && make

• If successful to install:

./mnistCUDNN

• There will be classification results, and say:

Test passed!
