It means you need a package (or meta-package, which might pull multiple packages and dependencies offering a big framework, for example), which could not be found in the existing repositories. In this very case, we need the DKMS (Dynamic Kernel Module Support) – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_Kernel_Module_Support
The DKMS is offered in epel repository and it could not be found in the CentOS 7 official repositories. Just add the epel repository.
Turn on and install EPEL Repo on a CentOS 7.x You must install dkms for registering the NVIDA kernel module with DKMS: $ sudo yum -y install epel-release $ sudo yum -y install dkms.
