How did you try to install the drivers? I could successfully setup a machine with this.
If you also want to compile the ccminer, you will need a few more steps.
Code:
sudo apt install nvidia-cuda-toolkit
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers
sudo apt update
sudo apt install nvidia-396
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers
sudo apt update
sudo apt install nvidia-396

I don't remember the exact steps, but I really do appreciate these!
One addition, you can use
Code:
sudo apt install nvidia-current
to install the current version and don't have to manually upgrade it everytime.
