Instructions
This article is an example of installing NVIDIA Driver on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 with Secure Boot Enabled. This example is for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.9.
- Get the NVIDIA Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA) repository.
[root@pe7525-rhel89 ~]# curl https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/rhel8/x86_64/cuda-rhel8.repo -o /etc/yum.repos.d/cuda-rhel8.repo
Note:
- For RHEL9, replace the link with the following link: https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/rhel9/x86_64/cuda-rhel9.repo
- For RHEL7, replace the link with the following link: https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/rhel7/x86_64/cuda-rhel7.repo
- For other Operating Systems, the repositories are found at: https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/
- Check the current kernel version on the server and find the corresponding NVIDIA driver version pre-compiled by NVIDIA. (Skip this step if the server already has a Red Hat Subscription and are ready to install the latest kernel for the NVIDIA driver. In the other words, installing the latest NVIDIA driver requires installing the corresponding kernel together because the driver is pre-compiled with that kernel)
In this example, the kernel is "
4.18.0-513.5.1.el8_9.x86_64," but there are NVIDIA driver versions 545, 535, 525, 470 available for this kernel version.
[root@pe7525-rhel89 ~]# uname -r
4.18.0-513.5.1.el8_9.x86_64
[root@pe7525-rhel89 ~]# yum list kmod-nvidia* --showduplicates | grep "4.18.0-513.5.1"

[root@pe7525-rhel89 ~]#
- List available versions and then install the required version. Version 545 was chosen for this example.
[root@pe7525-rhel89 ~]# dnf module list nvidia-driver

- Check the Secure Boot status on the server.
[root@pe7525-rhel89 ~]# mokutil --sb-state SecureBoot enabled [root@pe7525-rhel89 ~]#
- If Secure Boot is disabled and you choose to keep it disabled, skip this step. If it is enabled, download an NVIDIA .der certificate and import it into the server for authentication. Otherwise, the driver fails to load with the "Required key not available" error.
Note: The certificate import is a one-time task. It is not required to re-import the certificate if the OS is reinstalled, or if the driver is reinstalled or updated with an NVIDIA signed driver.
