NVCC not found, however nvdia-smi shows CUDA

Accelerated Computing CUDA CUDA Setup and Installation

I’ve tried to set the PATH variable to include /usr/local/cuda-12.0/bin${PATH:+:${PATH}} as instructed Post-installation Actions. However, there is any cuda directory in /usr/local/

$ nvidia-smi

Any directions?

nvidia-smi is installed as part of the driver installation. The “CUDA Version: 12.0” shown indicates the version of Cuda used to compile nvidia-smi and the driver.

Are you sure the Cuda Toolkit installation completed successfully?

3

I’ve installed cuda and Nvidia driver from runfile.

4

The results of the installation are in /var/log/cuda-installer.log. Were there any problems?

There was no problem in /var/log/cuda-installer.log and I am not sure why cuda was not correctly installed on /usr/local/. However, I was able to install cuda using Package Manager Installation approach after removing all nvidia and cuda related installations:

apt-get purge nvidia*
apt-get autoremove
apt-get autoclean
rm -rf /usr/local/cuda*
