 To be precise, you'll get back to [[https://wiki.debian.org/Bumblebee|the Debian wiki page about Bumblebee]], where you'll find installation instructions:

+===== Install Bumblebee =====
+As stated on the [[https://wiki.debian.org/Bumblebee|Debian wiki]]: "For Wheezy users, Bumblebee packages are available from wheezy-backports". This means we first need to add the backports in our sources. To keep the system as clean as possible, you may want to add a file inside **/etc/apt/sources.list.d/ **rather than editing the **sources.list** file.\\
+Here we'll create the **other-sources.list** file, then update our package list:
+<code>
+> nano /etc/apt/other-source.list
+ADD:
+deb http://ftp.belnet.be/debian wheezy-backports main
+> apt-get update
+</code>
+We can now install the Nvidia driver from the backports:\\
+**<color slateblue>To use the free, "nouveau" driver:</color>**
+<code>
+> apt-get -t wheezy-backports install bumblebee primus
+</code>
+**<color slateblue>To use the proprietary, "nvidia" driver:</color>**
+<code>
+> apt-get -t wheezy-backports install bumblebee-nvidia primus
