When I try to install the nvidia driver for my video card, I receive an error message.

ERROR: You appear to be running an X server; please exit X before            
       installing. For further details, please see the section INSTALLING   
       THE NVIDIA DRIVER in the README available on the Linux driver         
       download page at www.nvidia.com.

I wasn't able to find the README on the website but how do I create a terminal that is non-X? I am on 12.04.
