DRIVER INSTALLATION
Linux Installation
While driver installation may be carried out using the enclosed
installation CD, it is recommended that the customer download the
most recent drivers available at www.nvidia.com/drivers
Before you begin the installation, you should exit the X server and
close all OpenGL applications (it is possible that some OpenGL
applications persist even after the X server has stopped). You should
also set the default run level on your system such that it will boot to a
VGA console and not directly to X. Doing so will make it easier to
recover if there is a problem during the installation process.
1 Download the 32-bit or 64-bit Linux driver (the driver will have a
similar naming convention as.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:
cd download_directory
NVIDIA-Linux-x86-xxx-xx-xx.run or NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-xxx-xx-xx.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.
