[SOLVED] Installing CUDA 8.0 RC

Hi, I would like to install CUDA 8.0 RC on my machine.  There appears to be a lot of little details involved in this (and as far as I can find, this is not available with pacman), e.g selecting a compatible compiler, because CUDA is not compatible with the system 6.1.1 compiler, and selecting which download to use from NVIDIA.  I am new to Arch Linux entirely and have been unable to find the answers to these questions after a lot of searching.  Any guides or guidance to installing CUDA 8.0 on Arch would be appreciated.  Which download should I choose and how can I force the install script to select a compatible compiler like gcc5?

Thank you.

This worked great, and the issue I was having that made the CUDA 8.0 upgrade necessary is fixed.  Thank you!

sry, I still have a problem that which run file to use? I tried the version of Ubuntu but it did not pass the validity check.
