Before you install the driver you have to do the following actions:
sudo apt-get install linux-source
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
The important thing is that you first blacklist the nouveau driver:
A simple way to prevent Nouveau from loading and performing a kernel modeset is to add configuration directives for the module loader to a file in /etc/modprobe.d/. These configuration directives can technically be added to any file in /etc/modprobe.d/, but many of the existing files in that directory are provided and maintained by your distributor, which may from time to time provide updated configuration files which could conflict with your changes. Therefore, it is recommended to create a new file, for example, /etc/modprobe.d/disable-nouveau.conf, rather than editing one of the existing files, such as the popular /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf. Note that some module loaders will only look for configuration directives in files whose names end with .conf, so if you are creating a new file, make sure its name ends with .conf.
Whether you choose to create a new file (It's my preferred configuration) or edit an existing one, the following two lines will need to be added:
blacklist nouveau
options nouveau modeset=0
Then you install the nvidia driver with your prefered configuration ( x-swat, nvidia of the distributed drivers from Ubuntu).
