Did you install it first?
yay -S nvidia-installer-db
You missed the first command:
yay -S nvidia-installer-db
That installs the nvidia-installer-db than you then use in the other commands.

Yes i did install it and even installed it twice but when i write the 2 command its says command not found
What do you mean two commands? Do each command one at a time.
Maybe it requires
sudo nvidia-installer-db
Edit: No i just checked and it shouldn’t need sudo
Nope still the same thing
What i did was
Yay -S nvidia-installer-db
Then
Nvidia-installer-db
Nothing
Then
Sudo nvidia-installer-db nothing
Could you please give us the output of
inxi -F
No capitals …type it exactly as i showed you.
I swear i copied and pasted and then copied exactly the same command
Bash: inxi: command not found
yay -S inxi
I said not to copy and paste it because i made the text bold so it probably copies other characters.
yay -S nvidia-installer-db
nvidia-installer-db
nvidia-installer-dkms -b -t
sudo nvidia-installer-dkms -b
Ok
so the inix -F gave this

For future reference when you post output from the terminal it helps to put three tilde (~~~) characters before and after what you post. It makes it easier to see and read. You can also edit what you posted and add them.
