Nvidia nvcc -v not installed

Question

I installed cuda-repo-ubuntu1604-8-0-local on Ubuntu 16.10. When I import tensorflow in python, everything seems fine:

Python 2.7.12+ (default, Sep 17 2016, 12:08:02) 
[GCC 6.2.0 20160914] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import tensorflow
I tensorflow/stream_executor/dso_loader.cc:128] successfully opened CUDA library libcublas.so locally
I tensorflow/stream_executor/dso_loader.cc:128] successfully opened CUDA library libcudnn.so locally

I tensorflow/stream_executor/dso_loader.cc:128] successfully opened CUDA library libcuda.so.1 locally
I tensorflow/stream_executor/dso_loader.cc:128] successfully opened CUDA library libcurand.so locally

but I get the following when I try nvcc -v. Also I tried installing the Chainer framework and it says it can't find nvcc.

nvcc -v
/usr/bin/nvcc: line 1: /bin: Is a directory
/usr/bin/nvcc: line 2: cuda-repo-ubuntu1604-8-0-local_8.0.44-1_amd64.deb: command not found
/usr/bin/nvcc: line 3: cuda-repo-ubuntu1604-8-0-local_8.0.44-1_amd64.deb: command not found

/usr/bin/nvcc: line 6: syntax error near unexpected token `('
/usr/bin/nvcc: line 6: ` * This source code and/or documentation ("Licensed Deliverables") are'

Is the output from nvcc -v ok? I'm guessing it's not. How do I properly install nvcc?

You need to add cuda path to your /home/username/.bashrc file to setup the CUDA environment:

export CUDA_HOME=/usr/local/cuda-7.5 
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${CUDA_HOME}/lib64 

PATH=${CUDA_HOME}/bin:${PATH} 
export PATH 

Please change the version numbers to yours and source your /home/username/.bashrc file.
