Install CUDA 10 on Ubuntu 18.04/20.04 (2022 update)

Assuming a fresh install of 18.04 or 20.04

1. Add NVIDIA package repositories

EDIT June 2022: Updated instructions with a new key 3bf863cc.pub Note: Also tested on WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux)

wget https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/ubuntu1804/x86_64/cuda-repo-ubuntu1804_10.0.130-1_amd64.deb
sudo apt-key adv --fetch-keys https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/ubuntu1804/x86_64/3bf863cc.pub
sudo apt-key adv --fetch-keys http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/ubuntu1804/x86_64/7fa2af80.pub
sudo dpkg -i cuda-repo-ubuntu1804_10.0.130-1_amd64.deb
sudo apt-get update
wget http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/machine-learning/repos/ubuntu1804/x86_64/nvidia-machine-learning-repo-ubuntu1804_1.0.0-1_amd64.deb
sudo apt install ./nvidia-machine-learning-repo-ubuntu1804_1.0.0-1_amd64.deb
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends cuda-10-0 libcudnn7=7.6.0.64-1+cuda10.0 libcudnn7-dev=7.6.0.64-1+cuda10.0

2. Install driver

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers
sudo apt-get update

EDIT June 2022: previous drivers (ate least 418, 430, 470) no longer works with Cuda 10 install but works with the more recent 515 version:

sudo apt-get install nvidia-kernel-source-515
sudo apt-get install nvidia-kernel-common-515
sudo apt-get install nvidia-driver-515

As an alternative you can also use the Software and Update app if the command doesn’t work some reasons ![driver_list(/assets/ubuntu/driver_list.png)

Don’t forget to REBOOT!!!!!

Install development and runtime libraries

sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends cuda-10-0 libcudnn7=7.6.0.64-1+cuda10.0 libcudnn7-dev=7.6.0.64-1+cuda10.0

4. Tensorflow

The latest versions of Tensorflow that supports CUDA 10: 1.14, 1.15, 2.0.0

You can specify a version by adding ==[version]

pip3 install tensorflow-gpu==1.14
