Let’s go:ġ- First, clean your machine from any trace related to the CUDA package sudo rm /etc/apt//cuda* sudo apt remove - autoremove nvidia-cuda-toolkit sudo apt remove - autoremove nvidia-*įind a different way to do here on this Stackoverflow answer. If you have ubuntu 18.04 or 20.04, please go to Vladislav's article from here. But his article was only for ubuntu 20.04 and 18.04 and I added a few edits to make it work for 16.04 as well. This post is based on another post that helped me a lot to install Cuda, full credit goes to Vladislav Kulbatski. I like to document my work so I can avoid repeating the same work multiple times. I decide to follow this approach because it’s fast, simple, and clear (I know what’s going on my machine during the installation). There’s a ton of helpful articles about installing CUDA. Updating your CUDA version is even, sometimes, scarier! The official documentation from Nvidia is my least favorite resource to install CUDA. Just like many data scientists out there, installing CUDA is becoming an exhausting task. Working on the Cloud or changing your machine will require to re-install CUDA for GPU support.
