Setting up the development environment for Chainer with CUDA on Eclipse on Windows 10

The versions we are installing

Perhaps, small difference in versions may not be a big problem.

Visual Studio is required for installing CUDA. Free version (Visual Studio Community) is available.

Download from https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads
Select Windows -> x86_64 -> 10 -> exe (network) -> Download
Run the downloaded file.
This path can be anywhere. You can leave it unchanged. Then click OK.
Click "AGREE AND CONTINUE" on the software license agreement.
Select "Express (Recommended)" and click "NEXT".
When installation is finished, UNCHECK "NVIDIA GeForce Experience" and Close.
After the installation, it may be good to restart the PC just in case even if not asked.

This may be installed automatically along with CUDA Toolkit (according to the release notes of CUDA) https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-toolkit-release-notes/index.html
If not, you must manually install the NVIDIA GPU driver.

First, you need to register your email address.
Download cuDNN v7.4.1 (Nov 8, 2018), for CUDA 10.0.
Unzip the downloaded file.
If CUDA Toolkit is installed in C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA
- Copy cuda\bin\cudnn64_7.dll to C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v10.0\bin
- Copy cuda\include\cudnn.h to C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v10.0\include
- Copy cuda\lib\x64\cudnn.lib to C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v10.0\lib\x64
Otherwise copy above 3 files to the place where you installed CUDA Toolkit.

Download Python 3.7 version from https://www.anaconda.com/download/
Run the downloaded file.

I Agree
Check "Just Me (recommenced)" and Next.
Destination Folder can be anywhere. You can leave it unchanged. Take a note of this folder and do not forget. Then click Next.
Uncheck "Add anaconda to my PATH environment variable" and check "Register Anaconda as my default Python 3.7" and click "Install".
If you have already installed other Python environments, you may want to consider unchecking "Register Anaconda as my default Python 3.7".

Uncheck both and Finish.
It may be good to restart the PC just in case.

Open Windows Power Shell by right clicking the start button (or Command Prompt if using Windows 7).
Type the following:
- cd THE_DIRECTORY_OF_ANACONDA\Scripts\
- .\pip install chainer cupy
THE_DIRECTORY_OF_ANACONDA is the location where you installed Anaconda. In this example, I installed Anaconda in C:\users\koumura\Anaconda3
The result should look like this.

Download the installer from https://www.eclipse.org/
Run the downloaded file.
Install Eclipse IDE for Java Developers. We are not using Java this time, but we need to install this for PyDev.
