# Installation
If you are running an Arch Linux based distro, then you can find gpu screen recorder on aur under the name gpu-screen-recorder-git (`yay -S gpu-screen-recorder-git`).\
-If you are running an Ubuntu based distro then run `install_ubuntu.sh` as root: `sudo ./install_ubuntu.sh`.\
+If you are running an Ubuntu based distro then run `install_ubuntu.sh` as root: `sudo ./install_ubuntu.sh`. You also need to install the `libnvidia-compute` version that fits your nvidia driver to install libcuda.so to run gpu-screen-recorder.\
If you are running another distro then you can run `install.sh` as root: `sudo ./install.sh`, but you need to manually install the dependencies, as described below.\
You can also install gpu screen recorder ([the gtk gui version](https://git.dec05eba.com/gpu-screen-recorder-gtk/)) from [flathub](https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.dec05eba.gpu_screen_recorder).
# Dependencies
-`libgl (libglvnd), ffmpeg, libx11, libxcomposite, libpulse`. You need to additionally have `cuda` installed when you run `gpu-screen-recorder`.\

Recording monitors requires a gpu with NvFBC support (note: this is not required when recording a single window!). Normally only tesla and quadro gpus support this, but by using [nvidia-patch](https://github.com/keylase/nvidia-patch) or [nvlax](https://github.com/illnyang/nvlax) you can do this on all gpus that support nvenc as well (gpus as old as the nvidia 600 series), provided you are not using outdated gpu drivers.
