Install the NVIDIA graphics card driver on centos7

Centos 7 is easy to install the NVIDIA graphics card driver. It is easy to use a Linux release without a GUI such as fedora. The methods found on the Internet are complex and need to be modified. Here we provide a relatively simple method, suitable for some users who do not want to go too far.

First, add a third-party source elrepo. This source supports Red Hat Linux systems and mainly provides hardware drivers. The home page of this source is as follows:

http://elrepo.org/tiki/tiki-index.php

Add a source in two steps:

1. Import a Public Key

rpm --import https://www.elrepo.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-elrepo.org

2. Install elrepo

rpm -Uvh http://www.elrepo.org/elrepo-release-7.0-2.el7.elrepo.noarch.rpm

The fastestmirror plug-in is installed in centos 7 by default. If it is not installed, you can install the plug-in to provide faster download speeds.

yum install yum-plugin-fastestmirror

Then, enter the following command to modify

echo “blacklist nouveau options nouveau modeset=0″ > /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nouveau.conf

Restart your computer.

Finally, install the NVIDIA graphics card driver.

yum -y install kmod-nvidia

Restart the computer. Centos 7 looks more comfortable ~~
