I am a beginner in artificial intelligence. In order to test specific artificial intelligence, version 11.7 of CUDA is required.

The recommended CUDA version of the driver is 12.2, but I want to use 11.7.

Method 1: install 11.7

• problem : Maybe it’s because it doesn’t match the driver, but when I reboot, the screen becomes strange. Also, it doesn’t work because CUDA is not compatible with the driver.

wget https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/ubuntu2004/x86_64/cuda-ubuntu2004.pin
sudo mv cuda-ubuntu2004.pin /etc/apt/preferences.d/cuda-repository-pin-600
wget https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/11.7.1/local_installers/cuda-repo-ubuntu2004-11-7-local_11.7.1-515.65.01-1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i cuda-repo-ubuntu2004-11-7-local_11.7.1-515.65.01-1_amd64.deb
sudo cp /var/cuda-repo-ubuntu2004-11-7-local/cuda-*-keyring.gpg /usr/share/keyrings/
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -y install cuda

I used these codes to install cuda 11.7. (in here, https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-11-7-1-download-archive?target_os=Linux&target_arch=x86_64&Distribution=Ubuntu&target_version=20.04&target_type=deb_local)
But, when I command “sudo apt-get -y install cuda”, there were error

Method 2: install both 12.2 and 11.7 and change to suit my needs in conda

• problem : Even if the latest version called 12.2 is installed, 11.7 is not added to the final file. It remains only in deb format.

How can I use 11.7 version CUDA..?
