    # Install CUDA

    Check pre-installation [steps](https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-installation-guide-linux/index.html#pre-installation-actions) at NVIDIA docs.

    Finally download the toolkit at http://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads.

    For installing CUDA 10.1 at Ubuntu 16.04, x86_64:

    Installer used: deb(network)

    ```
    wget https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/ubuntu1604/x86_64/cuda-ubuntu1604.pin
    sudo mv cuda-ubuntu1604.pin /etc/apt/preferences.d/cuda-repository-pin-600
    sudo apt-key adv --fetch-keys http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/ubuntu1604/x86_64/7fa2af80.pub
    sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/ubuntu1604/x86_64/ /"
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get -y install cuda
    ```

    ## Post installation steps:

    Add exports for environment variables to bashrc:
    ```
    export PATH=/usr/local/cuda-10.1/bin:/usr/local/cuda-10.1/NsightCompute-2019.1${PATH:+:${PATH}}
    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/cuda-10.1/lib64:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH+${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}}"

    However, it seems that contrary to what the `ubuntu-drivers devices | grep nvidia` recommends, for Ubuntu 16.04, installing the latest recommended version of the driver (currently 430) does not play nice with X (maybe my kernal is not updated). And once I update the kernal I'll have to go through this all over again. So, better write shit down.
