I posted these steps in another discussion thread:
Everything to set up on ubuntu is covered in the thread on setting up your own DL box (Personal DL box) .
Basically:
install anaconda
install nvidia drivers (I followed this: http://www.linuxandubuntu.com/home/how-to-install-latest-nvidia-drivers-in-linux -> makes it easy)
install CUDA, cuDNN (I followed this from the DL box thread: https://www.learnopencv.com/installing-deep-learning-frameworks-on-ubuntu-with-cuda-support/)
set up fast ai, pytorch, tensor flow, keras etc as desired
Then follow @sermakarevich note above for a fastai environment config (basically do a git pull from fast ai and either use the environment.yml with conda or requirements.txt with pip to set up a fast ai specific environment).
I did this on a fresh ubuntu 16.14 lts install and it all just worked smoothly. If there’s issues with any of it check out the ‘building your own deep learning box’ thread which covers a lot of trouble shooting and alternatives.
