How to install the Nvidia CUDA Toolkit

Nvidia CUDA Toolkit is an essential part of Mirasys VMS when you want to use VCA Deep Learning features.

Currently, this component is needed to install separately on the server where you want to use VCA Deep Learning features with Mirasys VMS and an Nvidia GPU.

Package Download

• The package Mirasys-VCA-Deep-Learning-VX.X.X.zip can be downloaded from

  • Mirasys Extranet

  • Or the Documentation site Software Download section

• When you have downloaded the package, extract this to the desired location example, C:\temp.

Installation

• Double-click the setup file: cuda_XX.X.X_XXX.XX_windows.exe.
