The documentation is provided on the Ubuntu wiki here.

Basic steps:

sudo apt-get update

Then

sudo apt-get install  nvidia-kernel-common nvidia-current nvidia-settings

Finally change the driver on the Xorg.conf

Section "Device"
Identifier "Configured Video Device"
Driver  "nvidia"
EndSection

If it is optimus graphics, installing nvidia forcefully will cause black screen. – Web-E Aug 07 '13 at 18:45
