Accelerated Computing CUDA CUDA Setup and Installation

On following the instructions for installing CUDA to CentOS 8, I get the following errors

Error:

Bump.

I figured it out. The problem is that a package dkms is not installed. I downloaded it from here, https://centos.pkgs.org/7/epel-x86_64/dkms-2.7.1-1.el7.noarch.rpm.html.

It requires elfutils-libelf-devel.x86_64.rpm be installed. Once that’s done, the instructions for installing cuda on the nvidia webpage will work. I suggest the documentation on the page be fixed.
