dRIVER INSTALLATION
1
download the 32-bit or 64-bit Linux driver (the driver will have a
name similar to "NVIDIA-Linux-x86-100.14.11-pkg1. run" or
"NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-100.14.11-pkg2.run").
2
Change to the directory containing the downloaded file.
3
Run as root the NVIDIA-Linux*.run file downloaded in Step 1. As the
root user you can run the following executables:
In the cd.download_directory, choose either NVIDIA-Linux-x86-
100.14.11-pkg1.run or NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-100.14.11-pkg2.run.
The NVIDIA-Linux*.run file is a self-extracting archive. When
executed, it extracts the content of the archive and runs the contained
nvidia installer utility, which provides an interactive interface to walk
you through the installation. nvidia-installer will also install itself to /
usr/bin/nvidia-installer, which may be used at some later time to
uninstall drivers, auto download updated drivers, etc.
4
Select Accept to accept the License Agreement.
5
Select Yes if a warning window displays indicating that there are
drivers already installed. Selecting Yes tells the installation process
to overwrite the previously installed drivers.
6
Select Yes when the Kernel Interface window displays. When the
installer runs, it will check for a precompiled kernel interface. If it
does not find one, it will attempt to locate an interface on the NVIdIA
ftp site and then download it.
