I want to upgrade Cuda 10.1 to 10.2, but I am not root user as I am using a client account.

so my only option seems to use conda. I used this command conda install cudatoolkit=10.2.89 and it installed the packages.

Now if i use again, it indicates that it is already installed. but when i check with

nvcc --version

it says 10.1 is installed.

Here is a screenshot of the problem. I need to install Pytorch but unable to go forward.

  • The actual CUDA version is determined by the driver and that must be installed by a root user. – merv Sep 23 '21 at 05:49
  • Conda doesn't install nvcc. Their "cuda-toolkit" package is just runtime libraries. You clearly have a full CUDA 10.1 installation somewhere as well. And @merv: no the driver has nothing to do with any of this – talonmies Sep 23 '21 at 06:00
  • so what is the purpose of the cuda toolkit? just to show off? its around 500MB toolkit. – Adnan Ali Sep 23 '21 at 06:07
  • What conda distributes is what is required to run the CUDA accelerated python libraries they support. What nvidia distributes is everything that conda installs, plus all the tools you need to actual develop, compile and debug code on the GPU – talonmies Sep 23 '21 at 06:14
  • @talonmies so the duplicate is incorrect? Should I reopen? – merv Sep 23 '21 at 17:46
