Cloudera Data Science Workbench does not ship with any of the NVIDIA drivers needed to
enable GPUs for general purpose processing. System administrators are expected to install
the version of the drivers that are compatible with the CUDA libraries that will be consumed

Once the installation is complete, run the following command to verify that the
driver was installed correctly:
