+## Step 1: Installing required packages and enabling multilib
+
+1. Update the system:
+   `sudo pacman -Syu`
+2. Install required packages:
+   `sudo pacman -S base-devel linux-headers git nano --needed`
+3. Install the AUR helper, yay
+   - `cd ~`
+   - `git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay.git`
+   - `cd yay`
+   - `makepkg -si`
+4. Enable multilib repository
+   - `sudo nano /etc/pacman.conf`
+   - Uncomment the following lines by removing the # -character at the start them
+     - **[multilib]**
+     - **Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist**
+   - Save the file with _CTRL+S_ and close nano with _CTRL+X_
+5. Run `yay -Syu`, to update the system package database
+
+## Step 2: Installing the driver packages
+
+`yay -S nvidia nvidia-utils lib32-nvidia-utils nvidia-settings`
+
+## Step 3: Enabling DRM kernel mode setting
+
+1. Edit the GRUB configuration file:
+   - `sudo nano /etc/default/grub`
+   - Find the line with **GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT**
+   - Append the words inside the quotes with **nvidia-drm.modeset=1**
+     - Example: **GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nvidia-drm.modeset=1"**
+   - Save the file with _CTRL+S_ and close nano with _CTRL+X_
+2. Update the GRUB configuration: `sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg`
+
+### Add Early Loading of NVIDIA Modules:
+
+1. Edit the **mkinitcpio** configuration file:
+   - `sudo nano /etc/mkinitcpio.conf`
+   - Find the line that says **MODULES=()**
+   - Update the line to: **MODULES=(nvidia nvidia_modeset nvidia_uvm nvidia_drm)**
+   - Find the line that says **HOOKS=()**
+   - On the **HOOKS=()** line, find the word **kms** inside the parenthesis and remove it
+   - Save the file with _CTRL+S_ and close nano with _CTRL+X_
+2. Regenerate the initramfs with `sudo mkinitcpio -P`
+
+### Adding the Pacman Hook:
+
+1. Get the **nvidia.hook** -file from this repository
+   - `cd ~`
+   - `wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/korvahannu/arch-nvidia-drivers-installation-guide/main/nvidia.hook`
+2. Move the file to **/etc/pacman.d/hooks/** with: `sudo mv ./nvidia.hook /etc/pacman.d/hooks/`
