nvidia vgpu install

[mgformula]

Hello, we are looking to migrate from VMware and wanted to see if it's possible to install NVidia host vGPU manager? when i attempt to install the host driver i get the following error.
I'm fairly new to Linux to understand what dependencies are needed.
apt install ./nvidia-vgpu-ubuntu-535_535.183.04_amd64.deb

Note, selecting 'nvidia-vgpu-ubuntu-535' instead of './nvidia-vgpu-ubuntu-535_535.183.04_amd64.deb'

First try "apt install linux-headers-amd64" , it's for amd+intel
Then again "apt install nvidia-vgpu-ubuntu-535" (if repo defined or with longname and ./nvidia... as before).

"apt install ./nvidia-vgpu-ubuntu-535_535.183.04_amd64.deb" as it's a debian file and not a nvidia installer file.

hello i tried duplicating the steps to another host, when i run the nvidia installer i get this error,

ERROR: Unable to find the kernel source tree for the currently running kernel. Please make sure you have installed the kernel source files for your
kernel and that they are properly configured; on Red Hat Linux systems, for example, be sure you have the 'kernel-source' or 'kernel-devel' RPM
installed. If you know the correct kernel source files are installed, you may specify the kernel source path with the '--kernel-source-path'
command line option.

OK
comparing some things between the working host and this one, here is the output from the working host, not sure if the versions would cause that error, just something i noticed while comparing.
