Running Ubuntu 17.10

GPU is Asus GeForce GTX 1060 (is a NVidia GPU and the correct NVidia proprietary driver for Linux is downloaded from their website).

Have correct NVidia proprietary driver for Linux: NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-384.69.run

I am guessing that sudo apt install nvidia-384 does not install the proprietary NVidia driver so, how do I correctly install the proprietary Nvidia driver?

My question is not about how to install drivers using .RUN files. The question is about the correct procedure to install a NVidia driver using Ubuntu 17.10 available options.

Ubuntu provides an easy way to install the NVIDIA proprietary drivers. If you open the 'Software & Updates' Application and navigate to the 'Additional Drivers' tab you can install the Ubuntu provided proprietary driver. My driver is at 384.90.

You can't under wayland (default graphic server running under ubuntu 17.10) , well not yet. You will have to use the old server : "Xorg" on your machine. Don't worry, even with a clean install it should still be install on your computer. simply do that.
