  • Looking for Download cuDNN v6.0 (April 27, 2017), for CUDA 8.0

  • Extract the files: Once you’ve downloaded the cuDNN zip file, extract it.

  • Copy the files:

    • Copy the contents of the extracted cuda folder to your CUDA installation directory. For example, if you have installed CUDA in the default directory (C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v8.0), copy the following:
      • Copy bin/cudnn*.dll to C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v8.0\bin.
      • Copy include/cudnn*.h to C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v8.0\include.
      • Copy lib/x64/cudnn*.lib to C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v8.0\lib\x64

Ubuntu 16.04

Please note: Ubuntu 22.04 is not comptabile with CUDA 8.0
