Update(22.08.2014)
CUDA 6.5 has been released by NVIDIA. It has native Ubuntu 14.04 support. You can download from here.
https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads
What do we need ?
- Latest GPU driver from NVIDIA for your GPU and please install it. You can find many tutorial for this. Instead of using the restricted driver, I chose to use the new version from NVIDIA. In this guide I use NVIDIA 334.21 drivers for my GTX 750 Ti and GTX 650 Ti Boost.
- Latest CUDA installation file (.run file, not .deb). You can download from HERE .
- Required libraries: freeglut3-dev, libglu1-mesa-dev, libxmu-dev, libxi-dev, build-essential.
sudo apt-get install build-essential freeglut3-dev libglu1-mesa-dev libxmu-dev libxi-devCUDA 6.0 Installation Step
Extract installation file from CUDA .run file:
./cuda_6.0.37_linux_64.run -extract=/your_path
Now we have three file :
- cuda-linux64-rel-6.0.37-18176142.run
- cuda-samples-linux-6.0.37-18176142.run
- NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-331.62.run (Ignore it)
Now we can install cuda.
sudo ./cuda-linux64-rel-6.0.37-18176142.runThen we can install cuda-samples:
sudo ./cuda-samples-linux-6.0.37-18176142.runIf you want you can compile the samples after installation. But this process may take some time.
cd /your/nvidia_sample_path
makeCongratulations 🙂
Some proof:
-
- Cuda 6.0
-
- Nsight Eclipse Edition
[…] I want to install cuda-6.5 on my ubuntu server 14.04, but I can not find a step-by-step tutorial of how to install, is the process the same as cuda-6.0? Like I find a tutorial here ： http://gunluk.muuzoo.gen.tr/2014/04/30/how-to-install-cuda-6-0-on-ubuntu-14-04/ […]
[…] A blog on how to install CUDA 6.0 manually on Ubuntu 14.04. I just install CUDA 5.5 following similar steps. […]
