== Important Notes ==
This guide is still a work in progress. Expect revisions, changes, and additions on a frequent basis in the near future.
This guide is not a guide on how to use Ubuntu, Unix commands, github, or anything else except for getting CUDA and Ubuntu to play nicely together. You should be comfortable with executing Unix commands (the stuff you learned first-year should be entirely adequate.) If you have any questions or concerns as it relates to this guide, feel free to email me at stsang1@myseneca.ca and I'll do my best to address your issue...if it's within my knowledge.
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. 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! :)
