Install the latest nnabla by:

pip install nnabla
pip install nnabla-ext-cuda102 # For CUDA version 10.2 users

You can also install the cuda extension with specific versions from one of the following. See also FAQ

• nnabla-ext-cuda90 (CUDA 9.0 x cuDNN 7.6)
• nnabla-ext-cuda100 (CUDA 10.0 x cuDNN 7.6)
• nnabla-ext-cuda102 (CUDA 10.2 x cuDNN 7.6)

pip install nnabla
pip install nnabla_ext_cuda102  # For CUDA 10.2 x cuDNN 7.6 users

For distributed training, You need to install the correct package that
matches the version of MPI installed on your system.

We prepared following packages.

• nnabla-ext-cuda90-nccl2-mpi1-10-2 (Ubuntu16.04 default)
• nnabla-ext-cuda90-nccl2-mpi2-1-1 (Ubuntu18.04 default)
• nnabla-ext-cuda90-nccl2-mpi3-1-6
• nnabla-ext-cuda100-nccl2-mpi1-10-2 (Ubuntu16.04 default)
