CUDA installation for TensorFlow. No cuDNN v4 for CUDA 7.5 at NVIDIA

Question

I'm trying to install CUDA (to use it for TensorFlow). It's recommended to use cuDNN v.4 and CUDA 7.5. But at https://developer.nvidia.com/rdp/cudnn-download

There are only cuDNN v.4 for CUDA 7.0 and cuDNN v.5 (release candidate) for CUDA 7.5. Where I can get cuDNN v.4 for CUDA 7.5? Thank you.

You just download cudnn v4 for 7.0 and it will work with 7.5 — fabrizioM, May 04 '16 at 19:12
7.5 is available at https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads — gliptak, May 30 '16 at 16:57

As @fabrizioM pointed out, you can use cuDNN v.4 for CUDA 7.0. I also spent a lot of time to install CUDA/cuDNN.

tar -zxf cudnn-7.0-linux-x64-v4.0-rc.tgz 
cd cuda
sudo cp lib64/* /usr/local/cuda/lib64/
sudo cp include/cudnn.h /usr/local/cuda/include/

No problem In that. I've installed cuda 7.5 and using cuDNN v4 on ubuntu 16.04. There is no problem in that.

Installing CuDNN from scratch is painful.

As of October 2016, AWS is offering pre-built AMI's with NVIDIA CUDA 7.5 Pre-installed. Yipieee!

Plese see -

Not sure about why the downvote. I really think AWS AMI is removing lot of painful steps to setup CUDA and this answer would help future users. – Srikar Appalaraju Oct 05 '16 at 20:24
