Installing Nvidia Drivers

I am using Linux for the first time. I had a friend at work help me install Debian on one of my hard drives in my pc.

I have a bunch of material to read, to help me learn linux, but right now, I need to get the Nvidia linux drivers installed, so I can fix the resolution and refresh rate.

I have the drivers downloaded, sitting on my desktop. Can someone please walk me through they installation process?

Thanks very much

Open a command prompt(Konsole or equilivaent app like Xterm), change to the directory with the install program in it, chmod +x it, than ./[installer program name] to run it, a GUI installer will pop up and you should be able to take it from there.
