For reference, see the README provided by Nvidia at http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/295.53/README/installationandconfiguration.html. Exiting the X server is addressed in the Before you Begin section.

It depends on what distro you're using, but for example, you can shut down lightdm on Ubuntu using: sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm stop.

Unfortunately, installing the Nvidia drivers on Linux is a bit more complicated than it should be, so I would recommend that you have another device handy that you can use to search for solutions to problems you may encounter along the way. Best of luck.
