It should be installed by default, but you can install it manually.
$ pacman -Ss nvidia-installer

Script to setup nvidia drivers (dkms version) in EndeavourOS
Just did a fresh install yesterday, I had to install the nvidia-installer-dkms. I think that it may not be installed by default currently or in some cases it doesn’t install it. This was installed using the latest iso that was just released.
I took a look at the latest ISO from the 20th and nonfree is currently the default choice at the top. Do you mean you selected it, chose to install EOS, and still didn’t get the nVidia drivers?
I usually install with free, because I have a hybrid laptop. I get a black screen boot with non-free due to the hybrid aspect. I wonder if that may be why it didn’t install by default on my system.

This is post configuration of my optimus laptop. Because I like to torture myself, I plan on doing another fresh install to test out some other display managers and a possible switch method for my ryzen/nvidia system.
Thanks for the info!
Because you have an that kind of graphics cards setup, I guess you didn’t start the install session with the Nvidia option? OK, you actually confirmed that already…
That could explain why you didn’t have nvidia-installer-dkms installed by default.
There is a lot of interesting things about this computer. Like it throws the following error no matter what settings I try. I have no issues with the back light for either the display or keyboard once I have the correct packages installed.
systemd-backlight@backlight:acpi_video0.service loaded failed failed Load/Save Screen Backlight Brightness of backlight:acpi_video0
Its been an error from day one when I got this pc over a year ago. I have yet to have it mess anything up, I have tried all the acpi-backlight parameters listed on the arch wiki and it never goes away. Just another interesting thing about this pc.
If you have any issue you can also mask the service. That is another option. So you would just remove this if it gives any other problem and stop the service and mask it using systemctl as @pebcak has posted. Masking prevents the service from starting.
