Common Install

Install Nvidia-driver

# elrepo-release and epel-release are part of extras
# epel may not be necessary, but it does not hurt to enable it.
% dnf install elrepo-release epel-release -y

# CRB/PowerTools must be enabled
% crb enable

# Perform a dnf update now
% dnf update -y

# Reboot if you had a kernel update
% init 6

The driver installation is straightforward.

# Install the kmod driver
% dnf install kmod-nvidia

# If you find the driver is not available, enable the testing repository.
% dnf config-manager --enable elrepo-testing

# Once installation is done, reboot
% init 6
