Install GPU software on Ubuntu 20?

Hello all,

I’m about to start
Practical Deep Learning for Coders, v3
https://course.fast.ai/

I see that there is a script
for installing the GPU software on
Ubuntu 16 here:

fastai/courses/blob/master/setup/install-gpu.sh

# This script is designed to work with ubuntu 16.04 LTS

# ensure system is updated and has basic build tools
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get --assume-yes upgrade
sudo apt-get --assume-yes install tmux build-essential gcc g++ make binutils
sudo apt-get --assume-yes install software-properties-common

# download and install GPU drivers
wget "http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/ubuntu1604/x86_64/cuda-repo-ubuntu1604_8.0.44-1_amd64.deb" -O "cuda-repo-ubuntu1604_8.0.44-1_amd64.deb"

sudo dpkg -i cuda-repo-ubuntu1604_8.0.44-1_amd64.deb
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -y install cuda
sudo modprobe nvidia
nvidia-smi

# install Anaconda for current user
mkdir downloads
cd downloads

I notice that the script installs theano

But from what seem to remember, the latest
fastai course does not use theano

On my Ubuntu 20 server with a GPU, I’d like to
install the correct software.

Is there a newer script to install all the
required and appropriate software?

Thanks a lot
