Install CUDA on Linux Fedora 39

• ✍️

Note: this install failed. I was unable to install CUDA this way.

Steps:

  • Check the Fedora version in /etc/os-release. Update to version 39, or the latest version available. Change the instructions below accordingly, if using a newer Fedora version than 39.
  • Check that nvidia-smi detects the Nvidia driver.
  • Check that torch detects cuda - for me, it did not: 
    import torch
torch.cuda.is_available()
  • sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/fedora39/x86_64/cuda-fedora39.repo
  • sudo dnf -y install cuda
  • If the above gives conflict errors: sudo dnf -y install cuda --allowerasing
  • … But then, we still get conflict errors
