Install the Nvidia driver on Ubuntu

I wrote a script to install the NVIDIA driver on Ubuntu.

You can simply run it like this to install the CUDA driver on a fresly installed Ubuntu VM:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/johanburati/ms/master/ubuntu-install-cuda.sh | sudo bash

Or you can download it and run it with an option to install a specific version or purge the driver:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/johanburati/ms/master/ubuntu-install-cuda.sh
chmod +x ubuntu-install-cuda.sh

The different options:

• Install CUDA 9.1: sudo ./ubuntu-install-cuda.sh
• Install CUDA 9.0: sudo ./ubuntu-install-cuda.sh 9
• Install CUDA 8.0: sudo ./ubuntu-install-cuda.sh 8
• Uninstall CUDA : sudo ./ubuntu-install-cuda.sh purge
