install process

Summary of steps I’ve done to install tensorflow-gpu in Ubuntu 18.04 (should work in any Debian-based distro).

1.Install Nvidia driver on a machine with supported Nvidia card.
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall
$ sudo reboot
2. You might need to switch to Nvidia GPU from Intel GPU by using

$ sudo prime-select nvidia
$ sudo reboot
3. Install Anaconda with python 3.6.

https://repo.anaconda.com/archive/Anaconda3-5.2.0-Linux-x86_64.sh (Don’t use python 3.7.)

1. Install tensorflow-gpu

$ conda install tensorflow-gpu1.11 cudatoolkit9.0 cudnn==7.1.2 h5py

1. You’re done.
