 # Installation
 
+Both installation methods require that the NVIDIA proprietary driver installer
+programs be downloaded alongside [setup-cuda.sh](./setup-cuda.sh). If they do
+not exist at runtime, an attempt will be made to download them automatically. To
+avoid downloading the installers at runtime, they may be downloaded in advance
+and placed as siblings to [setup-cuda.sh](./setup-cuda.sh).
+
+For up-to-date NVIDIA driver version requirements, see [setup-cuda.sh](./setup-cuda.sh)

+## Datacenter Node

 1) `sudo ./setup-dc-node-1.sh`
 2) `sudo reboot`
 3) `sudo ./setup-dc-node-2.sh`
