Summary:
Update installation instructions in manual to contain CUDA $PATH variable

Detailed description
I followed the installation instructions for OpenMM 5.01 in the manual step by step and ended up setting the following environment variables: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/user/openmm/lib:/usr/local/cuda/lib64 export OPENMM_PLUGIN_DIR=/home/user/openmm/lib/plugins Running the testInstallations.py script only gave me the reference and OpenCL platform. Finally adding CUDA bin directory to the path solved this: export PATH=/usr/local/cuda/bin:$PATH Please update the manual to include the PATH variable in the "Install CUDA" section so others save some time figuring that out.
