Hi @tfoote,

I’ve implemented the enhancement to the CUDA extension to skip the installation if CUDA is already present on the system. This change introduces a check using the nvidia-smi command and ensures that redundant installations are avoided, improving efficiency.

I’ve tested the feature under the following conditions:

• With CUDA installed: The system correctly skips installation and logs the message: "CUDA is already installed. Skipping installation."
• Without CUDA installed: The extension proceeds with the installation as expected.

Looking forward to your feedback! Please let me know if there’s anything else I can improve.

Best regards,
Ritik kumar

Thanks for looking at this, however this won't do what is needed. This is checking the host, not the container or the presence of cuda.

This needs major changes before it will be ready so I'm going to push this back to draft status. It can be rereviewed when the additional functionality has been implemented.
