In a terminal, go to ~/NVIDIA_CUDA-5.0_Samples. Then enter the make command, and let all the samples compile (this will take some time). If you get no compilation errors right away, that's good! It is entirely possible that not all the samples will successfully compile as each sample has its own set of dependencies. There is definitely one sample you'll want to run, though. Using a Terminal, from the ~/NVIDIA_CUDA-5.0_Samples folder, go to /bin/linux/release subfolder, and run the deviceQuery sample (./deviceQuery). If it runs and you see information about your CUDA device, you've made it! :)
== Optional 1: Drive_God_Lin-specific Instructions== === Install Intel Compilers ===
Firstly, make sure you have the prerequisite packages as indicated in this [https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingCompilers#Installing_the_Intel_Compiler_Suite_Professional_Edition_10.x Ubuntu help article]. Then go [http://software.intel.com/en-us/non-commercial-software-development here] to download the archives of the Intel C++/Fortran compilers. Extract the contents and using a terminal, execute '''sudo ./install.sh'''.
== Optional 2: = Install C shell ===
Execute '''sudo apt-get install tcsh''' at the command-line. Type tsch to enter the C shell, and exit to quit the shell back to bash.
