Dependencies

Please ensure that your server used to run VisionAIre is deployed with some depedencies below before continue to the installation processes.

Installing Dependencies: Ubuntu 22.04 or above

1. Install nvidia driver 5.35 (link)

2. Install docker runtime latest (link)

3. Install nvidia-docker latest (link)

4. Install docker-compose latest (link)

1. Install nvidia-driver 5.25.0 (GNOME GUI Nvidia Installation Method)

Open the Software & Updates application window. Select TAB Additional Drivers and choose any proprietary NVIDIA driver. The higher the driver number the latest the version.

2. Install docker-ce runtime

• Update the apt package index and install packages to allow apt to use a repository over HTTPS

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install \
    apt-transport-https \
    ca-certificates \
    curl \
    gnupg-agent \
    software-properties-common

• Add Docker’s official GPG key

curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -

• Use the following command to set up the stable repository.

sudo add-apt-repository \
   "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \
   $(lsb_release -cs) \
   stable"

• Update the apt package index, and install the latest version of Docker Engine and containerd, or go to the next step to install a specific version:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io

• Verify that Docker Engine is installed correctly by running the hello-world image.

sudo docker run hello-world

This command downloads a test image and runs it in a container. When the container runs, it prints an informational message and exits.

• Post-installation steps for Linux. This allows you to run Docker command without sudo .

  sudo groupadd docker
  sudo usermod -aG docker $USER

• Log-out from Linux, then log in again. You now can run Docker without sudo.

3. Install nvidia-docker

• Setup the stable repository and the GPG key

distribution=$(. /etc/os-release;echo $ID$VERSION_ID) \
   && curl -s -L https://nvidia.github.io/nvidia-docker/gpgkey | sudo apt-key add - \
   && curl -s -L https://nvidia.github.io/nvidia-docker/$distribution/nvidia-docker.list | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nvidia-docker.list

• Install the nvidia-docker2 package (and dependencies) after updating the package listing

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y nvidia-docker2

• Restart the Docker daemon to complete the installation after setting the default runtime

sudo systemctl restart docker

• At this point, a working setup can be tested by running a base CUDA container (version above 11.6)

sudo docker run --rm --gpus all nvidia/cuda:11.6-base nvidia-smi

4. Install docker-compose

Run this command in Terminal to download the current stable release of Docker Compose:

sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.29.2/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

Apply executable permissions to the binary:

sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

Installing Dependencies: CentOS7

1. Install nvidia driver > 5.15

2. Install docker runtime (link)
3. Install nvidia-docker (link)
4. Install docker-compose (link)

1. Install nvidia-driver

• Update yum

sudo yum update

• Import Elrepo gpg key

sudo rpm --import https://www.elrepo.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-elrepo.org

• Install Elrepo RPM

sudo yum install https://www.elrepo.org/elrepo-release-7.el7.elrepo.noarch.rpm

• Install nvidia-driver via nvidia-detect

sudo yum install nvidia-detect

• Check if the driver is working

nvidia-detect -v

Reboot your computer to ensure the driver is working

2. Install docker-ce

Install the yum-utils package (which provides the yum-config-manager utility) and set up the stable repository.

sudo yum install -y yum-utils
sudo yum-config-manager \
    --add-repo \
    https://download.docker.com/linux/centos/docker-ce.repo

Install the latest version of Docker Engine and containerd.

sudo yum install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io

Start Docker.

sudo systemctl start docker

Verify that Docker Engine is installed correctly by running the hello-world image.

sudo docker run hello-world

3. Install nvidia-docker

sudo dnf install -y tar bzip2 make automake gcc gcc-c++ vim pciutils elfutils-libelf-devel libglvnd-devel iptables

4. Install docker-compose

First, download the current stable release of Docker Compose (1.24.1.) by running the curl command:

sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.24.1/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

The –L option tells the system to follow any redirects, in case the file has been moved. –o changes the filename to docker-compose so you can easily find it when needed. The option /usr/local/bin/ specifies the location in which to store the software package.

Next, change the file permissions to make the software executable:

sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
