How to get the cuda version?

Question

Is there any quick command or script to check for the version of CUDA installed?

I found the manual of 4.0 under the installation directory but I\'m not sure whether

Answer 1

One can get the cuda version by typing the following in the terminal:

$ nvcc -V

# below is the result
nvcc: NVIDIA (R) Cuda compiler driver

Cuda compilation tools, release 9.1, V9.1.85

Alternatively, one can manually check for the version by first finding out the installation directory using:

$ whereis -b cuda         
cuda: /usr/local/cuda

And then cd into that directory and check for the CUDA version.
