You needed to preserve the earlier PATH
. Instead of saying:
export PATH=$CUDA_INSTALL_PATH/bin
say:
export PATH=${CUDA_INSTALL_PATH}/bin:${PATH}
Question
I need to install a programming software called cuda for my academic purpose. googling how to install , i found these and i have done that.
cd ~/Downloads
sudo ./cudatoolkit_3.2.16_linux_32_ubuntu10.04.run
gedit ~/.bashrc
Add the following entries
export CUDA_INSTALL_PATH=/usr/local/cuda
export PATH=$CUDA_INSTALL_PATH/bin
save and exit. Then run on bash.
source ~/.bashrc
now any command is not working saying The command could not be located because '/bin' is not included in the PATH environment variable.
I could not understand I was new to this. can you please help me.
