sudo dpkg -i nvidia-driver-local-repo-ubuntu2404-590.48.01_1.0-1_amd64.deb
wget https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/11.8.0/local_installers/cuda_11.8.0_520.61.05_linux.run
sudo sh cuda_11.8.0_520.61.05_linux.run --toolkit --silent --override
sudo apt install libcudnn8-dev=8.9.7.29-1+cuda11.8 libcudnn8=8.9.7.29-1+cuda11.8
Add to your ~/.bashrc:

  export PATH=/usr/local/cuda-11.8/bin:$PATH
  export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/cuda-11.8/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

  Then:

  source ~/.bashrc

nvcc --version

  Should show release 11.8.
  
 nvidia-smi - can show 13 etc
