fastsetup's Introduction

fastsetup

Setup all the things

First, do basic ubuntu configuration, such as updating packages, and turning on auto-updates:

sudo apt update && sudo apt -y install git
git clone https://github.com/fastai/fastsetup.git
cd fastsetup
sudo ./ubuntu-initial.sh
# wait a couple of minutes for reboot, then ssh back in
# If you're using WSL (Windows) use `sudo ./ubuntu-wsl.sh` instead of the above line

Then, optionally, set up dotfiles:

source dotfiles.sh

...and set up conda:

source setup-conda.sh
. ~/.bashrc
conda install -yq mamba

To set up email:

sudo ./opensmtpd-install.sh

To test email, create a text file msg containing a message to send, then send it with:

cat msg |  mail -r "x@$(hostname -d)" -s 'subject' EMAIL_ADDR

Replace EMAIL_ADDR with an address to send to. You can get a useful testing address from mail-tester.

NVIDIA drivers

To install NVIDIA drivers, if required:

ubuntu-drivers devices
sudo apt-fast install -y nvidia-XXX{-server}
sudo modprobe nvidia
nvidia-smi

WSL-only:

Install the latest NVIDIA driver on your Windows PC running WSL Then do a special install of cuda

sudo apt-key del 7fa2af80
wget https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/wsl-ubuntu/x86_64/cuda-wsl-ubuntu.pin
sudo mv cuda-wsl-ubuntu.pin /etc/apt/preferences.d/cuda-repository-pin-600
wget https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/11.8.0/local_installers/cuda-repo-wsl-ubuntu-11-8-local_11.8.0-1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i cuda-repo-wsl-ubuntu-11-8-local_11.8.0-1_amd64.deb
sudo cp /var/cuda-repo-wsl-ubuntu-11-8-local/cuda-*-keyring.gpg /usr/share/keyrings/
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-fast install -y cuda
nvidia-smi

(WSL-only): Don't worry if nvidia-smi reports "Internal Error" under the "Processes" heading.

If it's working, you should still see part of your GPU name, and how much memory is available in the first heading.
