The command to install the drivers would be (ensure you install the right driver!): $ sudo apt install nvidia-driver-435 The simplest and most reliable way to do it (this has been the direct recommendation from NVIDIA on one of my posts on the NVIDIA forum) is to install it directly from the terminal. In the past, I used to download the drivers from the NVIDIA download site ( ).
To add the ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa repository into your system type the following command: $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa Step 5: Install NVIDIA Drivers blacklist nouveau blacklist lbm-nouveau options nouveau modeset=0 alias nouveau off alias lbm-nouveau offĭisable the Kernel nouveau: $ echo options nouveau modeset=0 | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/nf Step 4: Add PPA drivers respository Now, add the following lines to the file. The command I use is the following: $ sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/nf This step is sometimes not necessary after the previous one, but I strongly recommend doing it anyway (doing it doesn’t hurt!).įirst, you need to open the nf file (I use gedit, but feel free to use any other type of editor). The first thing one needs to do is run the following commands to ensure any preinstalled driver is purged: $ sudo apt-get autoremove $ sudo apt-get remove nvidia* $ sudo apt-get purge cuda* Step 3: Disable Nouveau NVIDIA driver The first thing one needs to do, is ensure that the GPU is an NVIDIA GPU with the following command: $ ubuntu-drivers devices Step 2: Remove NVIDIA drivers NVIDIA Driver Installation Step 1: Ensure your GPU is an NVIDIA GPU
Deep Learning GPU Installation on Ubuntu 18.4Īfter several times of installing with drivers, CUDA etc… to make my deep learning libraries talk to my GPU, I have decided to write the installation steps that work for Ubuntu18.04.
