Install CUDA

A pure cmd way to install cuda and cudnn for tensorflow 1.7:

wget http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/ubuntu1604/x86_64/cuda-repo-ubuntu1604_9.0.176-1_amd64.deb
wget http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/machine-learning/repos/ubuntu1604/x86_64/libcudnn7_7.0.5.15-1+cuda9.0_amd64.deb
wget http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/machine-learning/repos/ubuntu1604/x86_64/libcudnn7-dev_7.0.5.15-1+cuda9.0_amd64.deb
wget http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/machine-learning/repos/ubuntu1604/x86_64/libnccl2_2.1.4-1+cuda9.0_amd64.deb
wget http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/machine-learning/repos/ubuntu1604/x86_64/libnccl-dev_2.1.4-1+cuda9.0_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i cuda-repo-ubuntu1604_9.0.176-1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i libcudnn7_7.0.5.15-1+cuda9.0_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i libcudnn7-dev_7.0.5.15-1+cuda9.0_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i libnccl2_2.1.4-1+cuda9.0_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i libnccl-dev_2.1.4-1+cuda9.0_amd64.deb
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install cuda=9.0.176-1
sudo apt-get install libcudnn7-dev
sudo apt-get install libnccl-dev

Don't forget your path:

export PATH=/usr/local/cuda-9.0/bin${PATH:+:${PATH}}
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/cuda-9.0/lib64${LD_LIBRARY_PATH:+:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}}

Error message: Failed to initialize NVML: Driver/library version mismatch

Nvidia driver kernel module (kmod) have a wrong version, so we should unload this driver, and then load the correct version of kmod.

lsmod | grep nvidia
sudo rmmod nvidia_drm
sudo rmmod nvidia_modeset
sudo rmmod nvidia_uvm
