# Install the NVIDIA drivers on Fedora 37 [Hybrid]

 how to install NVIDIA proprietary drivers on Fedora 37 with Hybrid Switchable Graphics [Intel + Nvidia GeForce]
> Backup important files before you start the installation. And this is of course at your own risk, because graphic cards, components and monitors are different and some combinations might cause totally unexpected results.

####  identify your Nvidia graphic

```bash
lspci -vnn | grep VGA
``` 
the output of the above command will be like this:
```
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation CometLake-H GT2 [UHD Graphics] [8086:9bc4] (rev 05) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation TU116M [GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Mobile] [10de:2191] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
```

#### Enable RPM fusion 
 ```
sudo dnf install https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm
```

#### update your system
```
sudo dnf update -y
```
> It is recommended to reboot your system after the update if needed 

#### install Nvidia driver
```
sudo dnf install -y gcc kernel-headers kernel-devel akmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs 
```

after completing the installation run this command `ps aux | grep akmod` you will see some process related to building the akmod, wait until all is complete and then `reboot` your system.
