Install-NvidiaApp.ps1

This script automates the detection of an NVIDIA GPU, retrieves the latest NVIDIA App installer (either Enterprise or Public edition), and facilitates its download and installation with customizable parameters.

Usage

.\Install-NvidiaApp.ps1 [options]

Options

• -Verbose: Enables verbose logging for detailed output.
• -DryRun: Executes the script in a dry run mode to check and extract information without downloading or installing the package.
• -Force: Forces the installation of the NVIDIA App even if the same version is already installed or if no NVIDIA GPU is detected. Note that the NVIDIA App installer has an internal check for the GPU, so if it's not recognized, the NVIDIA App will not be installed.
• -Edition: Specifies the edition of the NVIDIA App to install. Valid values are "Enterprise" and "Public". Default is "Public".

Running the Script from the Internet:

Use Invoke-RestMethod to download and execute the script. Here is how you can do it:
