Jean, change Your 'deduction' form *.run files to sources like launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa so to avoid unnecessary troubles with compiling *.run nVidia driver file, more safe

Using the *.run installer makes your updates depend on manual operations.
I suggest you instead have a look in
System Settings > Software and Updates > / Additional Drivers
Selecting:
(*) Using NVIDIA Binary Driver - ...
... in here, will have you get updates automatically, without manual intervention.
The updates might not happen for every bleeding edge driver release, but instead you have a stable hassle free time using the computer.
If you REALLY wish to install the *.run driver; make sure you put it in a place you can find it when using the recovery console; e.g. put it in the root home directory:
sudo -icd; mv /the/path/<...>/*.run .
Then reboot into the recovery console and run the installer from there
bash NVIDIA<...>.run
Due to the way this installs; you may, at a later point in time, encounter problems in case of kernel & gui driver (e.g. xorg) updates.
If that happens, the "easy" fix is to use the recovery console to--uninstall the driver and then immediately--install it again,
after having made sure you booted with the NEW software active (i.e. using the new kernel).
Caveat: That strategy worked well on 14.04, haven't tried it since...
Note:bash NVIDIA<...>.run --help | less
will tell you a lot.
