NVIDIA/open-gpu-kernel-modules ? reverse-engineered prompt

Reverse engineered prompt

I need to build and install these open-source NVIDIA GPU kernel modules on my Linux machine. My goal is to get my graphics card working properly.

From what I understand, I need to first compile the modules from this source code. The README mentions a specific process where I also have to download and install the corresponding user-space driver from NVIDIA's website, but using a special flag like --no-kernel-modules to prevent it from installing its own version. After that's done, I can come back and install the open kernel modules that we built from this repository.

Can you please create a build script or walk me through the commands to get this all done correctly? I'm on a standard x86_64 system. The end goal is just to have a properly installed and functioning NVIDIA driver.

Are you gonna build this?
