At the moment latest Tensorflow 1.4 does not yet support Cuda 9.0. This tutorial is about how to install Tensorflow that uses Cuda 9.0 without root access.
Create a temp folder to install download sources into:
At the last step, it's expected to get an error because without root access the output library can't be copied to system roots:
CMake Error at cmake_install.cmake:41 (file):
file INSTALL cannot copy file
"/home/heraqi/downloads/mkl-dnn/external/mklml_lnx_2018.0.1.20171227/lib/libmklml_intel.so"
to "/usr/local/lib/libmklml_intel.so".
To fix it, lets add it manually to the shared libraries environment variable each time a bash script is opened by adding the following line to the file "home/your_user_name/.bashrc":
Create a temp folder to install download sources into:
mkdir downloads
cd downloads
Building and installing CMake:
The easiest way to install CMake is from source. Head over to the CMake downloads page and get the latest “Unix/Linux Source” *.tar.gz file.

wget https://cmake.org/files/v3.10/cmake-3.10.1.tar.gz
tar -xf cmake*.tar.gz
cd cmake*
./configure --prefix=$HOME
make
make install
You should now have the most up-to-date installation of cmake. Check the version by typing:
cmake --version
Building MKL locally without root access:
The Tensorflow wheels that we are going to install later on in this tutorial contain MKL support. If you don't have it, install MKL as follows. MKL is Intel's deep learning kernal library, which makes training neural nets on CPU much faster. If you don't have it, install it like the following:tar -xf cmake*.tar.gz
cd cmake*
./configure --prefix=$HOME
make
make install

cmake --version
Building MKL locally without root access:
git clone https://github.com/01org/mkl-dnn.git
cd mkl-dnn/scripts && ./prepare_mkl.sh && cd ..
mkdir -p build && cd build && cmake .. && make
make install

To fix it, lets add it manually to the shared libraries environment variable each time a bash script is opened by adding the following line to the file "home/your_user_name/.bashrc":
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/heraqi/downloads/mkl-dnn/external/mklml_lnx_2018.0.1.20171227/lib/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
pip install https://github.com/mind/wheels/releases/download/tf1.4-gpu-cuda9/tensorflow-1.4.0-cp36-cp36m-linux_x86_64.whl
Usually use conda to allow a local installation for your Python distribution because if you are not root, pip call will fail.

You have successfully installed Tensorflow for CUDA 9 without root until Google supports it :)
