=== Features of the Installer ===

Without options, the .run file executes the installer after unpacking it. The installer can be run as a separate step in the process, or can be run at a later time to get updates, etc. Some of the more important commandline options of nvidia-installer are:

=== nvidia-installer options ===

<code>--uninstall</code>

During installation, the installer will make backups of any conflicting files and record the installation of new files. The uninstall option undoes an install, restoring the system to its pre-install state.

<code>--latest</code>

Connect to NVIDIA's FTP site, and report the latest driver version and the url to the latest driver file.

<code>--update</code>

Connect to NVIDIA's FTP site, download the most recent driver file, and install it.

<code>--ui=none</code>

The installer uses an ncurses-based user interface if it is able to locate the correct ncurses library. Otherwise, it will fall back to a simple commandline user interface. This option disables the use of the ncurses library.
