Can't install Nvidia driver while X is running

I just got a new laptop and am trying to get Linux Mint all set up on it, but when I try to run the Nvidia gpu driver installer, it says it can't run while an X server is running. I tried pressing Ctrl-Alt-F2, but running it from the command line I got the same error. How do I run a program without X running?latest?d=yIl2AUoC8zA latest?i=Yx8K3MbA768:vVs0p7QnGC4:F7zBnMy latest?i=Yx8K3MbA768:vVs0p7QnGC4:V_sGLiP latest?d=qj6IDK7rITs latest?i=Yx8K3MbA768:vVs0p7QnGC4:gIN9vFwYx8K3MbA768
