cuda install.md

Ubuntu

Stick to the apt provided nvidia-driver (e.g. sudo apt install nvidia-driver-535)

Find the cuda version you want https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-toolkit-archive
Use the runfile install option
Continue installation even though driver is already preset
Install just CUDA without the driver (the warning message after install about the driver not being installed can be ignored, as it refers to the graphics drivers which you already have from nvidia-driver)
Add to your .bashrc / .zshrc / whatever

export PATH=/usr/local/cuda-<version>/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/cuda-<version>/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Get cudnn https://developer.nvidia.com/rdp/cudnn-archive
Installation guide: https://docs.nvidia.com/deeplearning/cudnn/archives/index.html
