Log of platform setup and configuration

===== Base =====

=== Nvidia Purge ===

Remove any existing Nvidia drivers

<code>
/etc/init.d/lightdm stop
sudo apt-get purge nvidia-*
/etc/init.d/lightdm start
</code>

== Add graphics driver PPA. ==

<code>
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
</code>

== update sources ==

<code>
sudo apt update
</code>

== Launch Additional Drivers utility ==

<code>
(sudo) software-properties-gtk
</code>

- NVIDIA 367.44 (or closest to this).
- Click **Apply Changes** button to automatically download and install the driver on the system.
- Restart computer to make the new driver take effect and ensure it is working correctly.

==== Troubleshooting ====

<code>
/etc/init.d/lightdm stop
</code>

<code>
/etc/init.d/lightdm start
</code>

== openGL ==

</code>
supo apt-get install mesa-utils
glxinfo
glxgears
</code>

===== NVIDIA Driver =====

This is probably not required as a driver is included with CUDA.

<code>
chmod 770 NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-375.26.run 
/etc/init.d/lightdm stop
./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-375.26.run 
reboot
</code>

===== CUDA ====

Installation of CUDA from debian package

==== Confirm GPU ====

<code>
lspci | grep -i nvidia
</code>

Output example

<code>
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation Device 1b00 (rev a1)
01:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation Device 10ef (rev a1)
</code>

==== gcc version ====

<code>
gcc --version
</code>

<code>

==== ensure for headers ====

<code>
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
</code>

==== Download CUDA Toolkit ====

<code>
wget https://developer.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/8.0/Prod2/local_installers/cuda-repo-ubuntu1604-8-0-local-ga2_8.0.61-1_amd64-deb
</code>

==== Confirm checksum ====

<code>
wget https://developer.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/8.0/Prod2/docs/sidebar/md5sum-txt
</code>

<code>
md5sum cuda-repo-ubuntu1604-8-0-local-ga2_8.0.61-1_amd64-deb
cat md5sum-txt | grep cuda-repo-ubuntu1604-8-0-local-ga2_8.0.61-1_amd64
</code>

==== Install ====

<code>
mv cuda-repo-ubuntu1604-8-0-local-ga2_8.0.61-1_amd64-deb cuda-repo-ubuntu1604-8-0-local-ga2_8.0.61-1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i cuda-repo-ubuntu1604-8-0-local-ga2_8.0.61-1_amd64.deb
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install cuda
</code>

Reboot system.

==== Environment Setup ====

=== Add CUDA bin path ===

</code>
export PATH=/usr/local/cuda-8.0/bin:${PATH}
echo $PATH
<code>

=== Ensure for LD_LIBRARY_PATH ===

Ensure LD_LIBRARY_PATH includes `/usr/local/cuda-8.0/lib64`

<code>
echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
</code>

If not set set using:

<code>
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/cuda-8.0/lib64
</code>

otherwise something like this:

<code>
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/cuda-8.0/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
</code>

==== /etc/skel ====

Configure `/etc/skel` so that new users have the proper environment configuration

<code>
nano /etc/skel/.profile
</code>
