Looking for a place to get nvidia drivers ? I will show you where to get them.
Nvidia has a page listing all the downloads for their drivers of different linux versions. Here you can download a driver specific for your linux OS.
Here is the link.
This is how the site looks like when the time of this writing this post.
The download gives you a file with .run as extenstion. For example "NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-367.27.run". The numbers change depending on version. To install it you have to make it executable first.
First open a terminal and change the working directory to the folder that has the run file.
cd folder_name
then make it executable using this command
chmod +x file_name.run
The file name changes depending on some factors. But it mostly looks like the above example. If it doesn't work and givers permission denied as error. then try again with sudo.
sudo chmod +x file_name.run
Using sudo will ask for your root password. Type it and press enter.
Now finally type this command.
./file_name.run
After this the executable either automatically installs or opens a window with options on how to install. Follow the installer's instructions and soon you will have installed the Nvidia graphics drivers.
