consider adding nvidia-cuda-toolkit to readme #64

The readme for the gpu directory gives suggested instructions for installing CUDA libraries with apt, but nvidia-cuda-dev isn't sufficient (doesn't install nvcc, need to install nvidia-cuda-toolkit). (Ubuntu 16.04)

OK. It might be better to link to the Nvidia CUDA Toolkit, since the packaged version is several versions behind. I have not actually installed CUDA myself.

amjokisaari commented 7 years ago

yeah, your readme links to it too, but I figure if you put the apt command down, it should be complete...? I know you run into versioning issues, etc etc etc. Just a thought.

Yes yes, thank you for testing the directions as-written. You're a solid trailblazer!
