Steps I’ve Taken:

1. Verified that CUDA is installed correctly:

   nvcc --version
   

   Output:

   nvcc: NVIDIA (R) Cuda compiler driver
   Copyright (c) 2005-2021 NVIDIA Corporation
   Built on Mon_May__3_19:15:13_PDT_2021
   Cuda compilation tools, release 11.3, V11.3.109
   Build cuda_11.3.r11.3/compiler.29920130_0
   

2. Set environment variables:

   export PATH=/usr/local/cuda-11.3/bin${PATH:+:${PATH}}
   export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/cuda-11.3/lib64${LD_LIBRARY_PATH:+:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}}
   

   OR

   echo 'export PATH=/usr/local/cuda-11.3/bin${PATH:+:${PATH}}' >> ~/.bashrc
   echo 'export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/cuda-11.3/lib64${LD_LIBRARY_PATH:+:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}}' >> ~/.bashrc
   

3. Verified NVIDIA driver status:

   nvidia-smi
   

   Output:

4. Checked if CUDA is available in PyTorch:

   import torch
   print(torch.cuda.is_available())
   

   Output:

   False
   

Questions:

1. Why is torch.cuda.is_available() returning False?
2. What additional checks or steps should I perform to resolve this issue?

Thank you in advance for your help!
