I suggest the opposite:
apt purge xserver-xorg-video-nouveau
It's probably already installed. It's old technology, reverse-engineered due to
NVidia's secret hardware specification policy.
Instead, use the newer technology upstream default modesetting DDX that comes in
the xserver package and should work automagically simply by not having any of the
upstream optional xserver-xorg-video-* packages installed. It's the only DDX I use
with all my NVidia GPUs new enough for its support.
