Nvidia user-space tools not found after installing newer driver version #54
Description
Nvidia user space tools (nvidia-smi,etc) are not installed when following the MX wiki tutorial: https://mxlinux.org/wiki/installing-specific-driver-versions-from-the-nvidia-developer-repository/
I tried to install the appropriate driver for my card according to the Nvidia website (570.124.06). Actually, the Nvidia website recommended 570.124.04, but I went on with the new patched .06 version as listed in ddm-mx.

Press <Enter> to exit
I exited the installer and rebooted. The system booted fine, I got a screen signal and a graphical desktop, and everything seemed to work fine except that nvidia-smi and some other tools were not installed. Here's some other output from commands I ran after the reboot:

❯ which nvidia-smi
nvidia-smi not found
I first noticed this error because the nvidia X server settings application was not present after rebooting and "Nvidia System Monitor for Qt" app reported the critical error "nvidia-smi not found. Have you installed NVIDIA drivers?".
