## The prep
edit your **/etc/apt/sources.list** file by appending "contrib non-free" at the end of the lines beginning with deb.

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian stretch main contrib non-free deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian stretch main

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian stretch-updates main contrib non-free deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian stretch-updates main

deb http://security.debian.org/ stretch/updates main contrib non-free deb-src http://security.debian.org/ stretch/updates main

Then run 

sudo apt update

## The steps (part 1)
Set root password

sudo -i passwd

It will ask you to type a new sudo password.

Use root account

su

OR

sudo -i

First install nvidia-detect

sudo apt -y install nvidia-detect

Next use nvidia-detect to find your gpu

nvidia-detect

First install these packages and build linux depemdecies.

sudo apt-get autoclean sudo apt-get clean sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade sudo apt-get dist-upgrade sudo apt-get -f install sudo dpkg --configure -a sudo apt install firmware-linux build-essential gcc-multilib linux-headers-amd64 dracut sudo apt build-dep linux

**NOTE: If it says that it will remove initramfs-tools its fine let it remove it**

Download driver from https://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html
Those who need the legacy driver look for Latest Legacy GPU version.

Disable Nouveau and other drivers that might have conflicts with the installation.

sudo echo 'blacklist amd76x_edac' >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf sudo echo 'blacklist vga16fb' >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf sudo echo 'blacklist rivafb' >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf sudo echo 'blacklist rivatv' >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf sudo echo 'blacklist nvidiafb' >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf sudo echo 'blacklist nouveau' >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

sudo dracut -v /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)

Next disable display manager. To find out witch you are using type

sudo cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager

if using lightdm

sudo systemctl stop lightdm

if using gdm3

sudo systemctl stop gdm3

If you see a black screen just press **CTRL+ALT+F1** and type

sudo apt install initramfs-tools sudo systemctl set-default multi-user.target

**NOTE: If it says that it will remove dracut its fine let it remove it**

Use this command next

sudo update-initramfs -u

if it fails run these commands

sudo apt-get autoclean sudo apt-get clean sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade sudo apt-get dist-upgrade sudo apt-get -f install sudo dpkg --configure -a sudo update-initramfs -u

Next reboot

sudo systemctl reboot

## The steps (part 2)
Log in as root with the password we have set up earlier.

Next go to Downloads forlder

cd Downloads

Run this commands

sudo apt install linux-headersuname -r

Now, add some libraries to your system 

sudo apt install build-essential sudo apt install libglvnd-dev pkg-config

* This fixes Error: Unable to determine the path to install libglvnd

Lastly run the installer

sudo bash NVIDIA-....run

I would recommend to enable 32-bit support if prompted.

Next select Install and overwrite existing filesort installation.

It should ask you to generate X-org configuration. Accept that too.

If not, run nvidia-xconfig after the installer finishes.

Reenable GUI

sudo systemctl set-default graphical.target

Then reboot.

sudo reboot

And that's it. You should have succesfully installed the proprietary NVIDIA driver.
