I have been trying to install Tensorflow for my new RTX 2070 Super. I have been following the following instructions:

steps

verify the system has a cuda-capable gpu

download and install the nvidia cuda toolkit and cudnn

setup environmental variables

verify the installation

#

If you have previous installation remove it first.

sudo apt-get purge nvidia*
sudo apt remove nvidia-*
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cuda*
sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/cuda*

to verify your gpu is cuda enable check

lspci | grep -i nvidia

gcc compiler is required for development using the cuda toolkit. to verify the version of gcc install enter

gcc --version

system update

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

install other import packages

sudo apt-get install g++ freeglut3-dev build-essential libx11-dev libxmu-dev libxi-dev libglu1-mesa libglu1-mesa-dev

first get the PPA repository driver

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
sudo apt-key adv --fetch-keys http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/ubuntu1804/x86_64/7fa2af80.pub
echo "deb https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/ubuntu1804/x86_64 /" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cuda.list

# installing CUDA-10.0

sudo apt-get -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-overwrite" install cuda-10-0 cuda-drivers

setup your paths

echo 'export PATH=/usr/local/cuda-10.0/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc
echo 'export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/cuda-10.0/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
sudo ldconfig

install cuDNN v7.5

in order to download cuDNN you have to be regeistered here https://developer.nvidia.com/developer-program/signup

then download cuDNN v7.5 form https://developer.nvidia.com/cudnn

CUDNN_TAR_FILE="cudnn-10.0-linux-x64-v7.5.0.56"
wget https://developer.nvidia.com/compute/machine-learning/cudnn/secure/v7.5.0.56/prod/10.0_20190219/cudnn-10.0-linux-x64-v7.5.0.56.tgz
tar -xzvf ${CUDNN_TAR_FILE}

copy the following files into the cuda toolkit directory.

sudo cp -P cuda/include/cudnn.h /usr/local/cuda-10.0/include
sudo cp -P cuda/lib64/libcudnn* /usr/local/cuda-10.0/lib64/
sudo chmod a+r /usr/local/cuda-10.0/lib64/libcudnn*

Finally, to verify the installation, check

nvidia-smi
nvcc -V

install Tensorflow (an open source machine learning framework)

I choose version 1.13.1 because it is stable and compatible with CUDA 10.0 Toolkit and cuDNN 7.5

pip3 install –user tensorflow-gpu==1.13.1

However, when when I type nvidia-smi I get the following:
Failed to initialize NVML: Driver/library version mismatch

I also tried to download the latest NVIDIA driver (440.35) but I had no success running the .run file. It kept giving me a message saying "The distribution-provided pre-install script failed!"

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
