How to install NVIDIA drivers on Debian 11

  1. Install a bunch of dependencies: apt install libxml2 libstdc++6 linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential libglu1-mesa-dev libx11-dev libxi-dev libxmu-dev freeglut3 freeglut3-dev
  2. Reboot
  3. Download the cuda installer https://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/570.133.07/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-570.133.07.run
  4. Make the installer executable: chmod +x {the-file}
  5. Run the file as the root user: su - (the - is important so you can have access to $PATH!)
  6. Accept the license. It will fail. It did some changes before it died though such as disable noveau. Just reboot and try again.

That's it!
