Go to https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads and get the one for
ubuntu 16.04. Or follow one of the blog posts for Mint+CUDA. My advice is
to choose your distro to suit what you need (ie perhaps CUDA) rather than
whatever is attractive about Mint.

I also tried downloading via " apt-get install nvidia-cuda-toolkit ", as
