3. Installing Nvidia driver, cuda toolkit, cudnn
3.1 Installing Nvidia driver
Run ubuntu-drivers devices to check available drivers to your graphics.
== /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:00.0 ==
modalias : pci:v000010DEd00001F06sv00001028sd0000C756bc03sc00i00
vendor : NVIDIA Corporation
model : TU106 [GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER]
driver : nvidia-driver-510-server - distro non-free
driver : nvidia-driver-470 - distro non-free recommended
driver : nvidia-driver-510 - distro non-free
driver : nvidia-driver-470-server - distro non-free
driver : nvidia-driver-450-server - distro non-free
driver : xserver-xorg-video-nouveau - distro free builtin
I install nvidia-driver-510:
sudo apt update && sudo apt install nvidia-driver-510
Reboot the system, nvidia-smi will show the following information:

3.2 Installing cuda toolkit
Go to https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads to download CUDA.
The current latest version is 11.6. If you want older version, you can google like “nvidia cuda 11.3”, the corresponding version will show up. Here, I download and install cuda 11.6.
Download the run file:
wget https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/11.6.2/local_installers/cuda_11.6.2_510.47.03_linux.run
cd to the folder, try
sudo sh cuda_11.6.2_510.47.03_linux.run.
Then you will see message like “The package manager is already exist, please remove,… abort”.
So we run
sudo sh cuda_11.6.2_510.47.03_linux.run --override --silent --toolkit
This works for my case.
Add path:
sudo gedit ~/.bashrc
Add below lines in the file:
export PATH=/usr/local/cuda-11.6/bin${PATH:+:${PATH}}
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/cuda-11.6/lib64${LD_LIBRARY_PATH:+:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}}
source ~/.bashrc
Now type nvcc -V in the terminal, the version of cuda will show up.

3.3 Installing cudnn
Go to here, follow the instructions to download cudnn.
unzip the downloaded cudnn file, and copy them to the cuda folder.
sudo cp cudnn_file_name/include/cudnn*.h /usr/local/cuda/include
sudo cp cudnn_file_name/lib/libcudnn* /usr/local/cuda/lib64
sudo chmod a+r /usr/local/cuda/include/cudnn*.h /usr/local/cuda/lib64/libcudnn*
4. Installing Github desktop
There is no official version of github desktop.
Downlaod the latest version:
- Go to the release page to download
*.debfile - or
sudo wget https://github.com/shiftkey/desktop/releases/download/release-2.6.3-linux1/GitHubDesktop-linux-2.6.3-linux1.deb
