Step 0: Install cuda from the standard repositories. (See How can I install CUDA on Ubuntu 16.04?)
Step 1: Register an nvidia developer account and download cudnn here (about 80 MB)
Step 2: Check where your cuda installation is. For the installation from the repository it is /usr/lib/...
and /usr/include
. Otherwise, it will be /usr/local/cuda/
or /usr/local/cuda-<version>
. You can check it with which nvcc
or ldconfig -p | grep cuda
Step 3: Copy the files:
Repository installation:
$ cd folder/extracted/contents
$ sudo cp -P include/cudnn.h /usr/include
$ sudo cp -P lib64/libcudnn* /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/
$ sudo chmod a+r /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcudnn*
Runfile installation:
$ cd folder/extracted/contents
$ sudo cp include/cudnn.h /usr/local/cuda/include
$ sudo cp lib64/libcudnn* /usr/local/cuda/lib64
$ sudo chmod a+r /usr/local/cuda/lib64/libcudnn*
For Tensorflow to find everything, I had to copy include/cudnn.h
and the libraries in lib64/
to /usr/local/cuda-8.0/include
and /usr/local/cuda-8.0/lib64
(using CUDA 8.0, Ubuntu 14.04, Tensorflow 0.12.0rc0) - maybe this is helpful for somebody. – David Stutz
