Installing Tensorflow GPU on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS – Taylor Denouden – Medium

While I'm not an expert, I wanted to detail what I did to get tensorflow-gpu working with my fresh Ubuntu 18.04 LTS install. NVIDIA doesn't have any official downloads for Ubuntu 18.04 yet, but you can get things to work with the available files for Ubuntu 17.04. The first thing you should check is that you have an Nvidia driver installed for your graphics card. Your graphics card must support at least Nvidia compute 3.0 to install tensorflow-gpu. You can check what graphics driver you have installed with thenvidia-smicommand.
