Preparation

1. Perform the Pre-installation Actions.

2. The kernel headers and development packages for the currently running kernel can be installed with:

   # dnf install kernel-devel-$(uname -r) kernel-headers-$(uname -r)
   

3. Choose an installation method: Local Repository Installation or Network Repository Installation.

Local Repository Installation

1. Download the NVIDIA driver:

   $ wget https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/nvidia-driver/${version}/local_installers/nvidia-driver-local-repo-${distro}.${version}.${arch}.rpm
   

   where ${version} is the NVIDIA driver version

2. Install local repository on file system:

   # rpm --install nvidia-driver-local-repo-${distro}.${version}*.${arch}.rpm
   

Network Repository Installation

1. Enable the network repository. For x86_64:

   # dnf config-manager --add-repo https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/${distro}/${arch}/cuda-${distro}.repo
   

   For aarch64:

   # dnf config-manager --add-repo https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/${distro}/sbsa/cuda-${distro}.repo
   

2. Clean DNF repository cache:

   # dnf clean expire-cache
   

Driver Installation

These instructions apply to both local and network installations.

Module Streams

# dnf module install nvidia-driver:<stream>/<profile>

Open Kernel Modules

# dnf module enable nvidia-driver:open-dkms
# dnf install nvidia-open

where profile by default is default and does not need to be specified.

• Example dkms streams: 580-open or open-dkms

Proprietary Kernel Modules

# dnf module enable nvidia-driver:latest-dkms
# dnf install cuda-drivers

where profile by default is default and does not need to be specified.

• Example dkms streams: 580-dkms or latest-dkms
