Add NVIDIA Repository and Install Drivers (GPU only)
=====================================================

FindFace on GPU requires the prior installation of NVIDIA drivers.

To add the NVIDIA repository and install the drivers, do the following:

.. important::
   You will need a stable Internet connection, as the driver packages will be downloaded from the NVIDIA web resource.

#. Download the installer file ``<findface-*>.run``.
#. Put the ``.run`` file into some directory on the designated host (for example, ``/home/username``).
#. From this directory, make the ``.run`` file executable.

   .. code::

      chmod +x <findface-*>.run

#. Execute the ``.run`` file.

   .. code::

      sudo ./<findface-*>.run

#. Choose the product to install: ``NVIDIA CUDA drivers``. 

#. After the NVIDIA drivers installation is complete, restart the server.
