Installing the NVIDIA Driver
Download the NVIDIA drivers from the NVIDIA website (http://www.nvidia.com). The NVIDIA graphics driver is bundled in a self-extracting package.
After you have downloaded the file NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-375.10.run, change to the directory containing the downloaded file, and as the root user run the executable:
$ cd yourdirectory
$ sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-375.10.run
The .run file is a self-extracting archive. When executed, it extracts the contents of the archive and runs the contained nvidia-installer utility. Simply follow the on-screen instructions to install the Nvidia Drivers.
Please update the system after the installation of Linux Driver:
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get upgrade
Alternate Method
You can also install the
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
sudo apt update
Now launch Additional Drivers utility and select NVIDIA-375 driver and install it.
If you are facing a black screen issue after installing NVIDIA GPU drivers, enable NOMODESET in grub option or remove the already installed drivers by running the command “sudo apt-get purge nvidia-current”
