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!
