Post-installation problems CUDA 10.0

Accelerated Computing CUDA CUDA Setup and Installation

I followed everything as instructed on https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-installation-guide-linux/index.html#abstract
but I am unable to complete post-installation actions. Note I have followed package manager installation. The following are the results for my PC

I can’t find the folder of CUDA, i.e, there is no such directory as ~/NVIDIA_CUDA-10.0_Samples
so I can’t run deviceQuery. Sorry for the long question, but I am new to Linux. Its been 5 days and I am unable to intall CUDA properly. Help please.

You followed everything as instructed? Because Linux Mint isn’t a supported OS.

Which part of the instructions were you following that indicated that Linux Mint is OK?

3

According to table 1, Ubuntu 18.04 GCC 7.3.0 Kernel Module 4.15.0 is supported, right? Also, I saw a video (CUDA 9.0 installation in Ubuntu 16.4 + / Linux Mint - Full instruction with verification - YouTube) yesterday which explains the steps in more detail and found the solution to my problem.
