To automatically install NVIDIA drivers on Linux, you can follow these steps:

  1. Open the terminal.
  2. Update the system software package list: sudo apt update
  3. Install the NVIDIA driver automatic installation tool (nvidia-detect) using the following command: sudo apt install nvidia-detect.
  4. This command will detect the NVIDIA driver version and hardware available in your system.
  5. Choose the version of the NVIDIA driver to install based on the output from nvidia-detect.
  6. For Ubuntu: use the command “sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa”
  7. For Debian, add “deb http://http.debian.net/debian/ jessie-backports main contrib” to the end of the /etc/apt/sources.list file using sudo.
  8. Update the software package list: sudo apt update
  9. If you have chosen a different version of the driver, replace “nvidia-driver” in the command with your chosen version.
  10. After the installation is complete, restart the system by using: sudo reboot.

After completing the above steps, the system will automatically install and enable the NVIDIA driver. You can use the NVIDIA Control Panel to configure and manage driver settings.
