nvidia-installer was inspired by
the loki_update tool: http://icculus.org/loki_setup/
The self-extracting archive (also known as the .run file) is generated using makeself.sh: http://www.megastep.org/makeself/
The version of makeself.sh used to create the .run is bundled within the .run file, and can retrieved by extracting the .run file's contents, e.g.:
$ sh NVIDIA-Linux-aarch64-455.45.01.run --extract-only $ ls -l NVIDIA-Linux-aarch64-455.45.01/makeself.sh
