Can't install Cuda 8, but have correct nvidia driver (Ubuntu 16)

Question

I have nvidia driver 367.57 but I keep getting this message when I try to install cuda 8:

***WARNING: Incomplete installation! This installation did not install the CUDA Driver. A driver of version at least 361.00 is required for CUDA 8.0 functionality to work.

Even though, I tried to run tensorflow but, as predicted, it can't find cuda:

ImportError: libcudart.so.8.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Solution

The necessary modifications for finding executables and libraries are to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH and the PATH variable. Since the modifications are similar in the first part, define that part as CUDA_HOME .

export CUDA_HOME=/usr/local/cuda

or where ever you installed it Then for the libaries:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${CUDA_HOME}/lib64

and the executables like nvcc:

export PATH=${CUDA_HOME}/bin:${PATH}
