View Full Version : Select package version with apt get installation
As in the title I'll need to download and install a package via "apt-get install" command but need to specify the version, here's the question:
I need to install the Nvidia cuda toolkit package.
If I issue "apt-get install Nvidia toolkit" it install the last version of this package(version 8)....I need the 6.5... There's a way to specify the version I want when performing apt-get command ?..... I've tried "apt-get install Nvidia toolkit-6.5" but nothing .....Any suggestions about it?
P.s. I'm a newbie so be patience, all this stuffs is needed for letting me run cpyrit with Cuda support
Thanks!
