## SSH

First, access the server via SSH using your SSH\_key, also, if you want to access it by using Putty follow these [links](https://docs.neevcloud.com/neevcloud-guide/neevcloud-knowledgebase/how-to-use-putty-for-ssh-key-based-authentication). Open the command prompt and navigate to the directory where you downloaded the SSH files.

{% hint style="info" %}
NOTE: if your SSH is not functioning, so you have to set the [permission](https://docs.neevcloud.com/neevcloud-products/computes/getting-started-launch-vms#permissions).
{% endhint %}

```
cd .\Downloads\
```

```
ssh -i  your_ssh_key username@your_server_IP_add
```

Now check the GPU on your server&#x20;

```
sudo lspci | grep -i NVIDIA
```

After the driver is installed check the driver

```
sudo nvidia-smi
```
