We have discussed about GPU computing as minimally needed theoretical background. Also, in an earlier guide we have shown Nvidia CUDA tool installation on MacOS X. Here is Practical Guide On How To Install PyTorch on Ubuntu 18.04 Server With Nvidia GPU. Installation demands server architecture which has Nvidia graphics card – there are such dedicated servers available for various purposes including gaming. Installing on localhost for intense and time consuming work not recommended for the sake of life of the device. The graphics card must support at least Nvidia compute 3.0 for more works than just PyTorch.

CUDA 10.0 is the first CUDA release with official support for Ubuntu 18.04. Many people have followed my guide, How to install CUDA 9.2 on Ubuntu 18.04. That is a good general guide for doing a CUDA install. If you are doing a fresh CUDA install you may want to have both 9.2 and 10.0 installed at the same time. You can do that. So, I recommend doing a fresh install of Ubuntu if you don’t have Ubuntu before starting with the tutorial. Tensorflow 1.8 with CUDA 9.2 and cuDNN 7.1.4 performs up to 37% faster when compared to earlier versions of Tensorflow.

Cuda can be installed. Following Omkar’s Steps. If you want to develop using cuda ie use the graphic card. Guest machine or virtual machine cannot see it as real hardware and use the CUDA capabilities. The guest machine only sees the virtual hardware, not the real hardware on the host machine.

Steps on How To Install PyTorch on Ubuntu 18.04 Server

SSH to server. Update and upgrade :

How To Install Cuda On Ubuntu 17.04

We can see what graphics card hardware installed by running :

We need Nvidia driver installed. We can check whether and what graphics driver on SSH:

If no driver is installed or latest driver needed then unlike our MacOS X Nvidia CUDA guide, we have multiple options.

Ubuntu Default Recommended Driver more than good. Nouveau is the open source implementation of the Nvidia driver.
Official Nvidia Site is for official drivers but they do not upgrade automatically. Here are Ubuntu’s PPA, browse it :

Gcc expert 24 software download. nvidia-graphics-drivers-396 is newest but probably not much tested. We can add nvidia-graphics-drivers-390 PPA and install that driver :

That is it. Check Nvidia version :

Reboot your server.

Unfortunately the setup is not smooth like setting up some normal server software or web software. Invariably you’ll face some error, need to fix by searching the web. I already have one fix in the guide from this solution :
