Cannot install .run in Knoppix

[Chintam]

Hey Guys!
I'm a noob when it comes to linux. I recently installed knoppix and the graphics was not so good. So i got a graphics driver frm nvidia website and it wont work. Am i doing it right? I just double click on it and it doesn't work! How do i get the drivers to install on my computer!? Help Guys! Thanks in advance...

Hey!
The file that you are using for driver installation is a script archive type. It should run when you double click it. Try to run the file in Terminal. Open terminal, navigate to the folder where u have the .run file saved. Now type :

./filename.run[press enter]

This must start the installer... All the best!

Hey!
When i tried to run the file from terminal it doesn't allow me to run it. It tells me "The action you requested needs root privileges." What do i do about this now? Is the file corrupt or i'm doing something wrong.. please guide me guys! Thanks

Hey!
Just follow this post and while in terminal use 'sudo' before the file syntax.

The final code should be :
