title: Using Tensorflow with GPU on Debian 8.10 Jessie
body: <p>I have Tensorflow installed on the Debian Server using <code>virtual environment</code></p>
  
  <pre><code>export url=https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/linux/gpu/tensorflow_gpu-1.5.0-cp34-cp34m-linux_x86_64.whl
  pip3 install --user $url
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This installs <code>tensorflow-gpu==1.5.0</code> on <code>~/.local/lib/python3.4/site-packages</code></p>
  
  <p>But when I import tensor flow package in Ipython notebook like:</p>
  
  <pre><code> import tensorflow as tf
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get the following error:</p>
  
  <pre><code> ImportError: libcublas.so.9.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>In <code>/usr/local/cuda-8.0</code> I do have <code>./lib64/libcublas.so.8.0</code>. Then why can't Tensorflow find it? Now do I need to install cuda-9.0? Unfortunately, I don't have root permissions on the system. Is there a way around this?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance,</p>
