Nvidia Drivers

• You can install Nvidia drivers in Ubuntu in two
  ways using the Command Line Interface (CLI)
  method or Graphical User Interface (GUI) method.
  Before installing the Nvidia drivers, check the
  system requirements. Your system needs to have
  a CUDA-capable GPU, should run a supported
  version of Linux, requires the build tools such
  as make, gcc to be installed, and should have
  appropriate Linux kernel headers.
