"Found no NVIDIA driver on your system" pytorch error

On ubuntu 17.10 system, I installed anaconda3 then I installed pytorch using

conda install pytorch torchvision cuda80 -c soumith

When I run torch.cuda.is_available() I get False and when I do something like x.cuda(), I get

AssertionError:
Found no NVIDIA driver on your system. Please check that you
have an NVIDIA GPU and installed a driver from
Official Drivers | NVIDIA

I checked the Cuda version using nvcc --version and it resulted in:

nvcc: NVIDIA (R) Cuda compiler driver

Built on Tue_Jan_10_13:2    2:03_CST_2017
Cuda compilation tools, release 8.0, V8.0.61

And I got the Nvidia driver verison by nvidia-smi, which returned

So I am not sure why pytorch cannot find the Nvidia driver.

Your driver doesn’t detect any GPU. Check that you have an Nvidia GPU and the driver is installed properly.
