Installing the CUDA Toolkit

Finally, we are beginning to get close to our goal! We now download our CUDA Toolkit by heading over to https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads. Select the appropriate operating system and you will see several options. In the case of both Windows and Linux, there are both network and local installations. I tend to use the local installation option under both Windows and Linux, because I prefer to download the entire package up-front; if there are any network problems, then you can be assured they won't occur while you are installing the CUDA Toolkit.
