Using docker as development environment is strongly recommended, you may check HERE for the deployment instructions of docker container and ignore the rest of this document.

While if this is not your case, we always recommend using major LTS version of your OS, Nvidia driver, CUDA, and so on.

OS

Ubuntu-22.04 is recommended. It is strongly recommended to use apt to manage packages in Ubuntu.

Driver

You should install the nvidia driver first before anything else, go to Ubuntu Driver Installation Guide for more details.

NOTE: Since version 560, the installation step is a little different than before, check HERE for more details.

CUDA

Go to NVIDIA CUDA Installation Guide for Linux for the detailed steps.

NOTE:

  • Do not forget to check Post-installation Actions to setup the environment correctly.
  • Make your CUDA version comply with your driver version
  • If you want multi-version CUDA, docker is strongly recommended.
