Please advise, trying to download latest long lived branch for Linux x86_64, but clicking save button seems to not do much. Don’t know where it downloads to, nothing in my Downloads folder on the Windows system I am using to connect to the NVIDIA website.

Is there a “wget” command string to download the latest long lived branch directly to a Linux system connected to the net?

I also need to download the compatible CUDA for Linux x86_64.

Thanks.

Hi Bruce,

There are direct links to the .run packages in the driver release announcement posts. You can find links to the latest ones from https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/533434/linux/current-graphics-driver-releases/

Someone mentioned a file, NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-440.64.run does anyone have a “wget” command string to pull that down to my Linux workstation?

Also need help getting CUDA installable.

Thanks.

wget https://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/440.64/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-440.64.run

Edit: Found it, there are instructions on how to download the CUDA installer using wget from here, once you select the platform and format you want it in: CUDA Toolkit 11.7 Update 1 Downloads | NVIDIA Developer

Thanks Aaron, that worked fine after I supplied --no-certificate-check.

May I ask for another wget to obtain the compatible CUDA package for that latest long lived branch for X86_64 ?

Much obliged,

Thanks, I have installed NVIDIA driver.

Also downloaded the run script for CUDA, got this error when running, please advise:

Tried changing to non-graphics mode and running the CUDA script again, got this:
