Note: Last question did not work on my system How do I Install CUDA on Ubuntu 18.04?

I installed the CUDA toolkit on Ubuntu 18.04, but the installation does not appear complete. How can I install CUDA properly on Ubuntu 18.04?

I followed the advice on a prior question and have nvcc installed.

When I run nvcc -V, I have CUDA compilation tools, release 9.1, V9.1.85.

Now I am searching for the bin directory to test the installation. See Section 7.0: https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-installation-guide-linux/index.html#post-installation-actions

The only two cuda folders I find with locate are under the anaconda3 directory. Neither of these have a bin folder.

  • If you type "which nvcc" you get the location in which it is installed. That is the bin you are looking for, e.g which nvcc outputs /usr/local/vm/cuda-8.0/bin/nvcc on my system. – ubfan1 Dec 16 '18 at 22:48
  • nvcc was not under the cuda install. It was by itself. I have since installed CUDA, but it ruined my graphics device driver. Still working on a proper install. – yellowjacket05 Dec 18 '18 at 03:05

I suggest you to use "find" command instead of "locate".

I assume you installed via apt and because it has become a native package, CUDA is installed in a rather non-standard way.

They are installed into the root system paths: /usr/bin, /usr/include, /usr/lib we need to emulate the old way for it to work. The following commands should do the trick:

sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/cuda /usr/local/cuda/extras/CUPTI /usr/local/cuda/nvvm
sudo ln -s /usr/bin /usr/local/cuda/bin
sudo ln -s /usr/include /usr/local/cuda/include
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu /usr/local/cuda/lib64
sudo ln -s /usr/local/cuda/lib64 /usr/local/cuda/lib
sudo ln -s /usr/include /usr/local/cuda/extras/CUPTI/include
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu /usr/local/cuda/extras/CUPTI/lib64
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/nvidia-cuda-toolkit/libdevice /usr/local/cuda/nvvm/libdevice
