While at it, install some other useful stuff (not required for the driver install, but useful for the CUDA SDK and optix later onĪpt -y install freeglut3-dev cmake-curses-gui libtbb-dev git gitk emacs25īefore we can install this driver, we first have to disable the default driver that your Ubuntu/CentOS has already installed for your card (“nouveau”).
