title: "Getting CUDA toolkit installed on Void Linux"

This is a short post (mainly for myself) to remember how I got CUDA installed on Void Linux.
These steps are as follows:
1. **Download the installation files:** Go to the CUDA toolkit installation website. Select Linux->x86_64->Debian->11->runfile (local)
2. **Set executable permission:** `chmod +x ./cuda_version.run`
3. **Install using the correct flags:**
```bash
sudo ./cuda_11.8.0_520.61.05_linux.run --silent --override --toolkit --no-opengl-libs --tmpdir=/home/aselimov/down/tmp
```
4. **Add to path:** Build should now be installed at /usr/local/cuda-version. Add the following to your bashrc or zshrc:
```bash
export PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/cuda-version/bin"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/cuda-version/lib64"
```
The reason I had to add the `--tmpdir` command was because I was getting an error message about the default `tmp` directory not having enough space.
Hopefully this helps someone else out!
