Nvidia X server disable
I have Nvidia 820M graphic card on my laptop running Ubuntu 16.04
System Info:- Dell 3558 i3/8Gb/1Tb/2Gb gfx
In additional drivers it's not showing, so I downloaded the driver from Nvidia Website
When I'm installing it, it gives a message to disable X Server
So I tried to use --no-x-check
But I got the error The Nouveau Kernal driver is currently in use, this driver is incompatible with Nvidia driver, disable it before proceeding
And Will I face any problem if I install it
drivers nvidia 16.04

Can you manually install it using the command:sudo apt install nvidia-367?

Nouveau driver module has to be disabled first. Add
blacklist nouveau
to /etc/modprobe.d/backlist.conf, run
update-initramfs -u
and then reboot the machine.
X server should also be stopped before you start the installation:
sudo service lightdm stop
