</code> export PATH=/usr/local/cuda-8.0/bin:${PATH} echo $PATH

=== Ensure for LD_LIBRARY_PATH ===

Ensure LD_LIBRARY_PATH includes `/usr/local/cuda-8.0/lib64`

<code>
echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH

If not set set using:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/cuda-8.0/lib64

otherwise something like this:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/cuda-8.0/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Configure `/etc/skel` so that new users have the proper environment configuration

nano /etc/skel/.profile
