In a previous post, I described how to setup a system with NVIDIA’s CUDA software with Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. With the recent release of Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, Bionic Beaver, I wanted to update that post for the new LTS release.
As of today, the NVIDIA repo does not have software packages for the Bionic release. At some point in the near future, an 18.04 entry will appear and have the software. I can update this post when that happens.
However, until the NVIDIA archive is updated, the best method is to install directly from the Ubuntu Bionic repo:

|
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y nvidia-headless-390 nvidia-utils-390 nvidia-cuda-toolkit
|
After rebooting the system the user can then verify that CUDA is setup correctly by verifying the devices show up and nvidia-smi output.
Below is an example from an AWS p3.16xlarge system with 8 Tesla V100s:
