.bashrc

.bashrc#

The .bashrc file is a script that runs every time a new terminal session is opened in Unix-like operating systems using the Bash shell. It is used to configure and customize the shell environment.

Editing .bashrc#

Step 1: Open .bashrc#

Open the .bashrc file in your home directory using a text editor. In this case, Nano is used.

Terminal#

  nano ~/.bashrc

Step 2: Save and Exit Nano#

While in Nano editor, you can save your changes and exit by using the following shortcuts:

Terminal#

   `Ctrl + O`           # to save the file.
   
   `Ctrl + X`           # to exit the nano editor.

Adding CUDA to System Paths#

At the end of the file, insert the following Conda configuration:

nano#

  # Adding CUDA to System Paths
  'export PATH=/usr/local/cuda-12.2/bin${PATH:+:${PATH}}'
  'export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/cuda-12.2/lib64${LD_LIBRARY_PATH:+:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}}'

Note

After adding these export statements, ensure they are available in your current session by executing the command source ~/.bashrc. Next, update the system’s dynamic linker run-time bindings with the command sudo ldconfig.

source ~/.bashrc && sudo ldconfig
