#   apt install nvidia-legacy-390xx-driver
  • Disable default nouveau
#   nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

#   systemctl set-default multi-user.target
  • Reboot your system
#   systemctl reboot
  • Install latest linux headers
#   apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential
  • Install wget for download your nvidia driver
#   apt install wget
  • Run command for Install NVIDIA Official With Root on sh/bash. Example: NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-390.116.run
#   sh ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-390.116.run
#   bash ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-390.116.run
  • On installing, choose below the choices
+ Install NVIDIA's 32-bit compatibility libraries? [Yes]
+ An incomplete installation of libglvnd was found. Do you want to install a full copy of libglvnd? This will overwrite any existing libglvnd libraries. [Install and overwrite existing filesort installation.]
+ Would you like to run the nvidia-xconfig utility to automatically update your X configuration file so that the NVIDIA X driver will be used when you restart X?  Any pre-existing X configuration file will be backed up. [Yes]
  • Switch default from CLI Mode to Graphical Mode
#   systemctl set-default graphical.target
  • Reboot your system again
#   systemctl reboot

After install, I found "black screen", "no devices detected" and "no screens found" problem with Xorg. And I Solved the problems by "Remove X11/Xorg Configuration file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf and reboot again"
