Nvidia Driver install Guide for 9 - missing packages
Working off of the binary drive (section 1) of https://wiki.almalinux.org/series/system/SystemSeriesA03R9.html
I think there are two issues.
- The first command has you enable powertools, but I think that is supposed to be
crbon Alma9 - The last command fails with
Error: Unable to find a match: libglfw3-devel- I THINK that is supposed to beglfw-devel??? I'm extremely not sure on this one, since I have no idea what I'm doing here yet.
Looking at the latest docs from Nvidia, powertools isnt required on RHEL 8 anymore either way.

I'll do some testing and check the contributing guide on updating the wiki.
Tested on AlmaLinux 9.6 (fresh VM, DVD ISO):
- Repos enabled by default: baseos, appstream, extras
- Enabled CRB: sudo dnf config-manager --set-enabled crb
- Tools: sudo dnf install -y gcc make kernel-headers kernel-devel → OK
- dkms and glfw-devel not found until EPEL is enabled
- After sudo dnf install -y epel-release → sudo dnf install -y dkms glfw-devel → OK
- Note: ensure uname -r matches kernel-devel (reboot after updates if needed)
Doc suggestions
- Replace “enable powertools” with: sudo dnf config-manager --set-enabled crb
- Add EPEL step before installing dkms/glfw-devel : sudo dnf install -y epel-release
- Installation block: sudo dnf install -y gcc make kernel-headers kernel-devel dkms glfw-devel
