Ubuntu 22.04 for Deep Learning

In the name of God

This gist contains steps to setup Ubuntu 22.04 for deep learning.


Install Ubuntu 22.04

  • Computer name: Name-PC
  • Name: Name
  • User name: name
  • Password: ********

Update Ubuntu

$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt full-upgrade --yes
$ sudo apt autoremove --yes
$ sudo apt autoclean --yes
$ reboot

Create Update Script

  • Create a file (~/full-update.sh) with the following lines:
#!/usr/bin/env bash

if [ "$EUID" -ne 0 ]
  then echo "Error: Please run as root."
  exit
fi

clear

echo "################################################################################"
echo "Updating list of available packages..."
echo "--------------------------------------------------------------------------------"
apt update
echo "################################################################################"
echo

echo "################################################################################"
echo "Upgrading the system by removing/installing/upgrading packages..."
echo "--------------------------------------------------------------------------------"
apt full-upgrade --yes
echo "################################################################################"

Install NVIDIA Drivers for Deep Learning

Check Display Hardware:

  • $ sudo lshw -C display

Install NVIDIA GPU Driver:

  • Install from GUI: Software & Updates > Additional Drivers > NVIDIA

Try $ sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall if NVIDIA drivers are disabled.

You can also install it from the terminal: $ sudo apt install nvidia-driver-535.

Check TensorFlow and CUDA Compatibilities:

Install CUDA Toolkit (CUDA 11.8):

  1. Install prerequisites:
    • $ sudo apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
  2. Download CUDA 11.8 (https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-toolkit-archive)
    • $ wget https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/11.8.0/local_installers/cuda_11.8.0_520.61.05_linux.run
  3. Install CUDA 11.8: $ sudo ./cuda_11.8.0_520.61.05_linux.run --override (without Driver)
  4. Set up the development environment by modifying the PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH variables (Add following lines to ~/.bashrc):
    • export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/cuda-11.8/bin
    • export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/cuda-11.8/lib64:/usr/local/cuda-11.8/extras/CUPTI/lib64
  5. Check that GPUs are visible using the following command (A reboot may be required):
    • $ nvidia-smi

Install cuDNN v8.6, for CUDA 11.8:

Reboot:

  • $ reboot

Install Docker Engine & Docker Compose

Nvidia Container Toolkit:

Make sure you have installed the NVIDIA driver and Docker engine for your Linux distribution Note that you do not need to install the CUDA Toolkit on the host system, but the NVIDIA driver needs to be installed.

      && curl -fsSL https://nvidia.github.io/libnvidia-container/gpgkey | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/nvidia-container-toolkit-keyring.gpg \
      && curl -s -L https://nvidia.github.io/libnvidia-container/$distribution/libnvidia-container.list | \
            sed 's#deb https://#deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/nvidia-container-toolkit-keyring.gpg] https://#g' | \
            sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nvidia-container-toolkit.list

$ sudo apt update

$ sudo apt-get install --yes nvidia-container-toolkit

$ sudo nvidia-ctk runtime configure --runtime=docker

$ sudo systemctl restart docker

# NOTE: --runtime=nvidia
$ docker container run --rm --runtime=nvidia nvidia/cuda:11.8.0-base-ubuntu22.04 nvidia-smi
# OR
$ docker container run --rm --gpus all nvidia/cuda:11.8.0-base-ubuntu22.04 nvidia-smi

TensorFlow Docker:

# CPU
$ docker run -it tensorflow/tensorflow:latest bash

# GPU
$ docker run --gpus all -it tensorflow/tensorflow:latest-gpu bash

PyTorch Docker:

$ docker run --gpus all --rm -ti --ipc=host pytorch/pytorch:latest

Running ARM Docker Containers:

$ sudo apt install qemu-system qemu-user-static binfmt-support
$ # Host Architecture: x86_64

Yeah I can't get CUDA to set up correctly. Running nvidia-smi after foregoing the installation of the driver just yields NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running., as is to be expected I guess

I could not use the PyTorch-GPU since pytorch with cuda 11.2 is not possible. Or did I do something wrong?
EDIT: Cuda 11 is minor version compatible. So I could use any pytorch with 11.x version.

Hi @w2sv , I've seen the same error and a reboot resolved it. Not sure if you have resolved the issue but that's something you can try. Hope it helps.

Hi @amir-saniyan , I think for the CUDA installation part, it can be clearer to include the sudo sh command in the guide, i.e., sudo sh cuda_11.2.2_460.32.03_linux.run

Hello @frankcaoyun, $ ./cuda_11.2.2_460.32.03_linux.run works when cuda_11.2.2_460.32.03_linux.run has execute privilege ($ chmod +x cuda_11.2.2_460.32.03_linux.run)

Hi @amir-saniyan, I noticed that the tensorflow-gpu is no longer supported. Maybe the guide can be updated for better clarification. Nonetheless, this is a great guide.

Thanks for this great gist. I'm using it to set up pytorch w/ cuda.
One issue is that Software & Updates -> Additional Drivers actually displays 10 different drivers! Some of them are nvidia-driver-525-open, nvidia-driver-525, nvidia-driver-525-server.

Perhaps a reference to sudo apt install nvidia-driver-525 will be helpful as well.

Not all heroes wear capes :D 🦸 Thanks for this, @amir-saniyan! I've done this at least 3-4 times now and pulling together all the google results was annoying - you've saved me lots of time!

Check that GPUs are visible using the following command:

    $ nvidia-smi

before running nvidia-smi successfully I had to reboot the machine.
Otherwise, it was giving me the error :

NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.

Thank you! Your doc saved me weeks of floundering.

I also added a few Python environments, to make it easier to work through the fastai book.

$ python3 -m venv ~/venvs/fastaigpu
$ source ~/venvs/fastaigpu/bin/activate
(fastaigpu) $ pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel
(fastaigpu) $ pip install --upgrade opencv-python opencv-contrib-python
(fastaigpu) $ pip install --upgrade torch torchvision torchaudio
(fastaigpu) $ pip install --upgrade numpy scipy matplotlib ipython jupyter pandas sympy nose
(fastaigpu) $ pip install --upgrade scikit-learn scikit-image
(fastaigpu) $ pip install --upgrade fastai fastbook
(fastaigpu) $ deactivate

I made a fastaicpu environment also, so I could compare CPU vs GPU performance.

Using the fastaigpu environment, I can clone the book, and run it via Jupyter notebooks, and it works great, and leverages the GPU.

I can't thank you enough for this article. You literally saved me weeks of floundering, and the result is 10 times better that what I would have come up with on my own.

Thank you so much!
