Installation Guide

The following installation guide is for Debian-based and Ubuntu-based Linux system with GPU enabled.

Step 1: Install Software Prerequisite via terminal

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install curl nano htop unzip -y 

Step 2: Turn-off Swap Memory

We will enter the super user mode, command to turn off the swap memory, and exit the super user mode. Finally we launch htop command to confirm that that the swap memory is already turned off.

sudo su - 
swapoff -a
exit
htop

Swp = 0K/0K at the last line of this image means the swap memory is successfully turned off.

Control-c to go back to terminal
