I am attempting to install cuda-9.0 with the .run file, following the steps given in this question.

I am not interested in the included driver, as it is older than the currently installed one, (384.98) so I did not select it during the install of the package. Here is the output of nvidia-smi:

After running sudo sh cuda_9.0.176_384.81_linux.run, I get the following error that I do not know how to fix:

***WARNING: Incomplete installation! This installation did not install the CUDA
Driver. A driver of version at least 384.00 is required for CUDA 9.0 functionality
to work.
To install the driver using this installer, run the following command, replacing
<CudaInstaller> with the name of this run file:
    sudo <CudaInstaller>.run -silent -driver

What might I need to do to correct the issue? My driver is above the required version.

I believe the error comes from an incompatible versions of Nvidia and CUDA driver. In my case, I ignored it and it worked fine, but do make sure that you have PATH set to /usr/local/cuda-XX/bin and LD_LIBRARY_PATH set to /usr/local/cuda-XX/lib64 in .bashrc or equivalent file.
