Nvidia-inst - help installing Nvidia graphics drivers Here’s the output of the nvidia-inst command with the help option: $ nvidia-inst -h OverviewĪ new Nvidia driver installer, nvidia-inst, replaces the old nvidia-installer-dkms. Tip: you can still use command nvidia-inst -t to find the needed commands, just be sure to change the package names according to the version (for example, change nvidia-dkms to nvidia-470xx-dkms etc.). IMPORTANT NOTE: if you have added repository into file /etc/nf, please remove it from the file because this repository may include outdated packages. This means certain older Nvidia GPUs should use either the nouveau kernel driver or install the appropriate legacy driver from the AUR (with yay). Latest update: 2023-Apr-03 Important for older Nvidia GPUs!Ĭurrently (2023-Feb) nvidia-inst does not support installing (older) legacy drivers.
