# To add a new driver
- Edit `versions.sh`, add new driver version.
- Run `update-data.sh`
The script will download the drivers from the nvidia servers and place the
corresponding files in the `data` directory.
# Building locally
**1\.** Install the following packages:
```bash
flatpak git
```
**2\.** Add the Flathub repository:
```bash
flatpak --user remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
```
**3\.** Install `org.flatpak.Builder`:
```bash
flatpak --user install flathub org.flatpak.Builder
```
**4\.** Clone this repository:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/flathub/org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.nvidia.git
cd org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.nvidia
```
**5\.** Assuming you already know what driver version you want to build, use the following command to modify `versions.sh`:
```bash
# In this example, only the 560.35.03 driver will be built.
# You can also build multiple versions by separating them with a space.
echo 'DRIVER_VERSIONS="560.35.03"' >> versions.sh
```
**6\.** Run the `update-data.sh` script to ensure the required metadata files about the driver are present:
```bash
./update-data.sh
```
**7\.** Invoke the build command to build for your CPU architecture (Note: if you're on `x86_64`, the 32-bit driver also gets built):
```bash
flatpak run --command=make --env=FLATPAK_USER_DIR=$HOME/.local/share/flatpak org.flatpak.Builder
```
**8\.** Create a local Flatpak remote named `nvidia-local`, pointing to the `repo/` directory:
```bash
flatpak --user remote-add --no-gpg-verify nvidia-local repo/
```
**9\.** Check what drivers you have in the repository:
```bash
flatpak --user remote-ls nvidia-local
```
**10\.** Install the drivers accordingly, for example:
```bash
flatpak --user install nvidia-local org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.nvidia-560-35-03
flatpak --user install nvidia-local org.freedesktop.Platform.GL32.nvidia-560-35-03 # 32-bit driver (if you built on x86_64)
```
**11\.** *(Optional)* If you want to free disk space, you can then disable the `nvidia-local` repository and delete the `repo` directory (this is safe, and will not uninstall your drivers):
```bash
flatpak --user remote-modify --disable nvidia-local
rm -rf repo/
```
To free even more disk space, you can also delete the `.flatpak-builder` and `builddir` directories (this is also safe):
```bash
rm -rf .flatpak-builder/ builddir/
```
