I got installed cuda 7, but when I hit nvcc --version, it prints out 6.5. I would like to install Theano library on GTX 960 card, but it needs nvcc 7.0. Ive tried reinstall cuda, but it didn't update nvcc. When I run apt-get install nvidida-cuda-toolkit, it instals only 6.5.

How can I update nvcc to version 7.0 ?

Please follow the official installation guide to uninstall your current cuda environment and then install the lateest CUDA developing environment, it includes cudaSDK, cudatoolkit and driver.
