+**How to install NVIDIA Docker 2 package on Ubuntu and Debian:**
+
+If you came to this result (from Google or elsewhere) after realizing that Nvidia-docker's entry on this subject does not result in a working installation, here are the basic steps needed to install this package correctly:
+
+For starters, ensure that you've installed the latest Docker Community edition by following the steps below:
+
+
+    curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
+    sudo apt-key fingerprint 0EBFCD88
+    sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) stable"
+    sudo apt-get update
+    sudo apt-get install docker-ce
+    sudo service docker restart
+
+
+Then, proceed to adding the required repositories and installing the needed software:
+
+Start with `nvidia-docker-runtime`:
+
+**For Ubuntu distributions (Xenial x86_64):**
+
+First, if you have older nvidia-docker installations, purge the installation and all associated GPU containers:
+
+    docker volume ls -q -f driver=nvidia-docker | xargs -r -I{} -n1 docker ps -q -a -f volume={} | xargs -r docker rm -f
+    sudo apt-get purge -y nvidia-docker
+
+Then proceed:
+
+    curl -s -L https://nvidia.github.io/nvidia-container-runtime/gpgkey | \
+      sudo apt-key add -
+    curl -s -L https://nvidia.github.io/nvidia-container-runtime/ubuntu16.04/amd64/nvidia-container-runtime.list | \
+      sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nvidia-container-runtime.list
+    sudo apt-get update
+
+**For Debian distributions (Stretch x86_64):**
+
+    curl -s -L https://nvidia.github.io/nvidia-container-runtime/gpgkey | \
+      sudo apt-key add -
+    curl -s -L https://nvidia.github.io/nvidia-container-runtime/debian9/amd64/nvidia-container-runtime.list | \
+      sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nvidia-container-runtime.list
+    sudo apt-get update
+
+
+Install the `nvidia-container-runtime` package:
+
+    sudo apt-get install nvidia-container-runtime
+
+Followed by `nvidia-docker2`:
+
+    sudo apt-get install nvidia-docker2
+
+**Docker Engine setup:**
+
+To register the nvidia runtime, use either method below on Ubuntu 16.04LTS+. It is recommended that you use the systemd drop-in file method to prevent docker upgrades from directly overwriting the docker daemon configuration file.
+
+**(a).Systemd drop-in file (Recommended approach):**
+
+    sudo mkdir -p /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d
+    sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d/override.conf <<EOF
+    [Service]
+    ExecStart=
+    ExecStart=/usr/bin/dockerd --host=fd:// --add-runtime=nvidia=/usr/bin/nvidia-container-runtime
+    EOF
+    sudo systemctl daemon-reload
+    sudo systemctl restart docker
+
+**(b). Daemon configuration file (Use if you're on a distribution such as [Devuan](https://devuan.org/), without a systemd dependency):**
+
+    sudo tee /etc/docker/daemon.json <<EOF
+    {
+        "runtimes": {
+            "nvidia": {
+                "path": "/usr/bin/nvidia-container-runtime",
+                "runtimeArgs": []
+            }
+        }
+    }
+    EOF
+    sudo pkill -SIGHUP dockerd
+
+
+**Basic usage:**
+
+`nvidia-docker` registers a new container runtime to the Docker daemon.
+You must select the nvidia runtime when using docker run, as illustrated below (with nvidia-smi):
+
+    docker run --runtime=nvidia --rm nvidia/cuda nvidia-smi
