Accelerated Computing CUDA CUDA Setup and Installation

hello guys

I’m not a developper but i need to install CUDA in a Ubuntu WS. I tried to follow a guide. I have installed the NVIDIA Driver anf then i tried to install cuda 10 with the deb Package.

I saw in the ubuntu repository there is the following package: apt install nvidia-cuda-toolkit

Could you tell me if this package is an alternativa of the deb package downloaded from NVIDIA or an additional package that i can install for the cuda envitonment ?

it’s an alternative, maintained by someone besides NVIDIA, so I wouldn’t be able to say much about it.

To use NVIDIA install sources and processes, get your installers from [url]http://www.nvidia.com/getcuda[/url]

and follow instructions in the appropriate install guide, eg. for linux:
