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

Mirasys VMS includes VCA Deep Learning analytics files for VCA AI detection that require NVIDIA GPU and CUDA Toolkit 11.8 GPU drivers. The NVIDIA CUDA toolkit v11.8 can be downloaded from the NVIDIA site: https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-11-8-0-download-archive

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

Installation

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

  • After this, Windows will ask permission to run this setup file.

  • Click Yes to continue.

  • The installer is asking now where to extract the package details.

  • Extraction takes some time until it is done.
