1) Verify your graphics driver
In my case I have nvidida graphics
nvidia-smi
It should display details about your graphics , if not first install it
2) Edit your debian source list to include non-free releases
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
2) Modify the source list and add following
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm main contrib non-free-firmware
3) Get update
sudo apt get update
4) Now you can install nvtop
sudo apt install nvtop
Now hit nvtop and you are all set !!
