Step 2: Install drivers for NMT language pairs

If you want to access NMT (Neural Machine Translation) language pairs, you are currently working with SDL ETS 7.4 or higher. You need to install NVIDIA and CUDA drivers on the hosts where the NMT language pairs will be installed.

About this task

You must install NVIDIA drivers and CUDA TOOLKIT 8.0 on a Linux distribution.

Procedure

  1. Install NVIDIA drivers:
    1. Install sudo apt-get update.
    2. Install apt-get install nvidia-384.
  2. Restart your computer.
  3. Install CUDA 8 (wget and sudo sh cuda_8.0.61_375.26_linux-run) and:
    1. Select "Accept" for EULA.
    2. Select "No" for Install NVIDIA Accelerated Graphics Driver for Linux-x86_64.
    3. Select "Yes" for Install the CUDA 8.0 Toolkit.
    4. Keep default configuration for Toolkit location.
    5. Select "Yes" for Do you want to install symbolic links at/usr/local/cuda.
    6. Select "No" for Install the CUDA 8.0 Samples.
  4. Stop and start the Translation Engine, so it detects the new CUDA libraries, even if the Translation Engine appears to be currently running.
