The kmod-nvidia package must be downloaded from the Internet, from the
rpmfusion repository, via yum (since it depends on other packages which
yum will also have to download, automatically). Fedora needs to
have a working Internet connection for yum to work.

You can check whether rpmfusion is enabled by typing

  yum repolist

and verifying if rpmfusion (free and nonfree) is in the list of
configured repositories. If not, the instructions for enabling
rpmfusion are given on its website,

  http://rpmfusion.org/Configuration

Since you only have access to the command line, I suggest that you

(a) log in as root

(b) copy-paste the following (or type it veeery carefully) as a single
line (beware that your a client may do word-wrapping, type spaces
instead of newlines):

yum localinstall --nogpgcheck 
http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm 
-E %fedora).noarch.rpm 
http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm 
-E %fedora).noarch.rpm

This will configure yum to use both free and nonfree rpmfusion repos.

(c) type

  yum install kmod-nvidia

and say yes when asked to confirm.

(d) type

  shutdown -r now

to reboot the machine.

HTH, :-)
