Nvidia Driver install Guide for 9 - missing packages

[PhirePhly]

Working off of the binary drive (section 1) of https://wiki.almalinux.org/series/system/SystemSeriesA03R9.html

I think there are two issues.

1. The first command has you enable powertools, but I think that is supposed to be crb on Alma9
2. The last command fails with Error: Unable to find a match: libglfw3-devel - I THINK that is supposed to be glfw-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
