How to install Cudnn from command line

Cudnn: https://developer.nvidia.com/cudnn

I login and go jump through all the hoops that NVIDIA wants you to do; however, when it comes time to download the file I can't seem to figure out how to do it via wget and the command line.

I was hoping someone has done this. I've copy and pasted the link that they want to click and used this in wget copy-and-pasted-url. But I just get back an html file.

Click on the version of cudnn you want to install from Index of /compute/redist/cudnn/ and follow it. When you reach the page shown in the image below, right-click to get the url for wget.

enter image description here

You just wget cudnn from that link and install it. The commands below assume you are using Ubuntu.

wget https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/redist/cudnn/v8.8.0/local_installers/11.8/cudnn-local-repo-ubuntu2204-8.8.0.121_1.0-1_arm64.deb
sudo apt install cudnn-local-repo-ubuntu2204-8.8.0.121_1.0-1_arm64.deb

I tried all of these answers and none worked unfortunately.

Though a simple workaround is: apt-get update && apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends <cuDNN Package>

For example, in my case it is:

apt-get update && apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends libcudnn8

And it works!

The following trick works with Firefox:

  1. Download the file with your regular machine
  2. Go to the downloads list in firefox, right click on the file and click "Copy original download URL"

enter image description here

  1. Go to your pure-terminal machine, and type:

    wget PASTE-YOUR-LINK-FROM-FIREFOX

As @deltheil mentionned, by doing this the link contains a temporary download token, letting you download the file from another machine then the one it was requested from

EDIT

The downloaded filename is libcudnn***.deb?<some download token>. You will need to rename it by stripping the ? and everything after it:

mv libcudnn***.deb?xxx libcudnn***.deb

You may try the following:

curl -O http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/redist/cudnn/v2/cudnn-6.5-linux-x64-v2.tgz

This will download CUDNN 6.5

The download link that you get right after the accept terms section is authenticated (the GET request gives you a HTTP 302 Moved Temporarily).

If you really want to grab the link from the command line: open your browser, use the developers tools and look at the Location field after the redirection: you can use this link directly with wget as it contains a short-lived authorization token.
