How to install GPU driver on Google Deep Learning VM?

I just created a Google Deep Learning VM with this image:

c1-deeplearning-tf-1-15-cu110-v20210619-debian-10

The tensorflow version is 1.15.5. But when I run

nvidia-smi

it says -bash: nvidia-smi: command not found.

When I run

nvcc --version

I got

nvcc: NVIDIA (R) Cuda compiler driver
Copyright (c) 2005-2020 NVIDIA Corporation
Built on Thu_Jun_11_22:26:38_PDT_2020
Cuda compilation tools, release 11.0, V11.0.194
Build cuda_11.0_bu.TC445_37.28540450_0

Does anyone know how to install the GPU driver? Thank you in advance!

Update: I've noticed that if you select GPU instance, then the GPU driver is pre-installed.

I would suggest to delete the instance and create another one. Keep in mind the version compatibility here and here. If you are installing drivers by yourself then whats the point of using pre-build instance.
