Important note: install the version of software/packages strictly according to the instructions provided by Tensorflow. A different version of software, for example CUDA toolkit 9.2 instead of 9.0, might lead to failure in tensorflow.
NVIDIA configuration
(In progress) Before installing tensorflow with GPU, configure the NVIDIA® software by following instruction: https://www.tensorflow.org/install/install_linux#NVIDIARequirements
Install CUDA Toolkit 9.0
- 1. Installed CUDA Toolkit 9.0 Base Installer with the Runfile option. The toolkit is in
/usr/local/cuda-9.0
for the toolkit. Did NOT install NVDIA accelerated Graphics Driver for Linux-x86_64 384.81 (We believe we have a different graphic driver. we have a much Newer version(396.26)). Installed the CUDA 9.0 samples in
HOME/MCNAIR/CUDA-SAMPLES.
- 2. Installed Patch 1, 2 and 3. The command to install was
sudo sh cuda_9.0.176.2_linux.run # (9.0.176.1 for patch 1 and 9.0.176.3 for patch 3)
- 3.
Set up the environment variables: The PATH variable needs to include /usr/local/cuda-9.0/bin To add this path to the PATH variable:
$ export PATH=/usr/local/cuda-9.0/bin${PATH:+:${PATH}}
In addition, when using the runfile installation method, the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable needs to contain /usr/local/cuda-9.0/lib64 on a 64-bit system To change the environment variables for 64-bit operating systems:
$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/cuda-9.0/lib64\${LD_LIBRARY_PATH:+:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}}
Note that the above paths change when using a custom install path with the runfile installation method.
- Problem encountered:
1. In usr/local/ we found files 'CUDA-9.2' and 'CUDA-8.0'. These were probably installed in the past.
2. When execute the following command in a terminal, it returns 'PATH: command not found'.
$ export PATH=/usr/local/cuda-9.0/bin${PATH:+:${PATH}}
3. If installed correctly, type nvcc- V should verify installation. But currently it returns 'the program nvcc is currently not installed'.
Tensorflow Installation
- (TODO) To install tensorflow, follow this instruction here: https://www.tensorflow.org/install/install_linux#InstallingVirtualenv and install tensorflow with Wei. Specific is below.
