Guide to Install drivers for Nvidia from .run

I am looking for a guide to install Nvidia drivers. I found guide for Debian/Fedora http://www.markbuckler.com/post/install-cuda/, or https://gist.github.com/wangruohui/df03 … 098aa52d07, but not Arch Linux.

Not recommended by the wiki unfortunatelly.

I possess a device, in my pocket, that is capable of accessing the entirety of information known to man.
I use it to look at funny pictures of cats and to argue with strangers.

Thank you for your reply.
For 1.5 years I have a problem ... I have 6 monitors for 3x Nvidia Quadro NVS 300. I also have 2x Nvidia Quadro NVS 450. My problem started at the end of 2017. After the updates, the system does not boot. In 2017, 3 x Nvidia Quadro NVS 300 broke down Manjaro → https://forum.manjaro.org/t/desktop-doe … etup/36948. Issue not resolved. I migrated to Debian 9 (buster). The current version of the 4.16.0-2-amd64 kernel does not load Nvidia drivers.

I am trying to build on Arch Linux. I contacted the author of "Arch Linux Hydra Build" → http://collaboradev.com/2016/09/30/arch … dra-build/. He instructed not to install drivers from the repository. I have to use the drivers from the official Nvidia website.

The computer is my work tool. I am looking for a reliable solution.

Arch packages do not differ from upstream unless for some distro specifics that are almost guaranteed to not be related to your issue.

Post information about your actual issue instead of assuming the repo packages don't work or differ from what nvidia's driver will give you, in particular an updated xorg and journal log.
