TensorFlow GPU linux installation

Question

This is the error I am getting:

import tensorflow
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/tensorflow/__init__.py", line 23, in <module>

from tensorflow.python import pywrap_tensorflow

_pywrap_tensorflow = swig_import_helper()
 File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/tensorflow/python/pywrap_tensorflow.py", line 24, in swig_import_helper
_mod = imp.load_module('_pywrap_tensorflow', fp, pathname, description)
 File "/usr/lib/python3.5/imp.py", line 242, in load_module
return load_dynamic(name, filename, file)
File "/usr/lib/python3.5/imp.py", line 342, in load_dynamic
return _load(spec)
ImportError: libcudart.so.7.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Can anyone tell me how to install step by step in ubuntu 16.04 platform?

Answer 1

You lost the environment variables. Refer to github issue . For more refer to this post .

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/cuda/lib64"
export CUDA_HOME=/usr/local/cuda

Answer 2

If you are using anaconda then run this command in your anaconda prompt

conda install -c anaconda tensorflow-gpu

This will also install the cuda toolkit and cudnn for you and you are good to go
