Prepare:
- GTX1080,
- X86 PC support 64bit ,4G memory,250Gb Sata HDD
- Usb stick above 2G bytes
Step1:
Download manjaro image, there are three version, I like gnome style ,so I take it
Gnome: Manjaro Linux - Browse Files at SourceForge.net
KDE: https://downloads.sourceforge.net/manjarolinux/manjaro-kde-17.0.5-stable-x86_64.iso
Xfce:https://downloads.sourceforge.net/manjarolinux/manjaro-xfce-17.0.5-stable-x86_64.iso
Step2:
Burn manjaro image to USB stick
linux:
To burn the iso on an usb stick, enter the following command in a terminal :
$sudo dd bs=4M if=/path/to/manjaro.iso of=/dev/sd[drive letter] status=progress
windows:use imagewriter
https://launchpad.net/win32-image-writer/
Step3:
Install manjaro to system by usb stick.
Step4:
Boot into system, install kernel ,kenrel header for build kernel module, cuda for miner tool
$sudo pacman -Sy
$sudo pacman -S cuda
$sudo pacman -S gcc make automake
$sudo pacman -S linux
$sudo pacman -S linux linux-headers
sudo pacman -S gcc-libs-multilib
do a reboot
$reboot
Step5:
Boot into system , check if system run new kernel
$uname -a
Linux manjaro 4.9.53-1-MANJARO #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Oct 5 15:11:15 UTC 2017 x86_64 GNU/Linux
download nvida driver
$mkdir nv
$cd nv
$wget http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/384.90/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-384.90.run
download ewbf miner tool ,unzip miner tool
$wget https://github.com/nanopool/ewbf-miner/releases/download/v0.3.4b/Zec.miner.0.3.4b.Linux.Bin.tar.gz
$tar xvf Zec.miner.0.3.4b.Linux.Bin.tar.gz
modify start.sh , change the miner pool server ,port and miner address by gedit
$gedit start.sh
Step6:
install nvida linux driver
$ sudo ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-384.90.run
It will report an error, we should boot to text mode to install the dirver, type below command to disable gdm and reboot
$sudo systemctl disable gdm
$sudo reboot
after reboot, we goto into a ternimal, just login and change to the nv directory, type command wait for command over.
sudo ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-384.90.run
if successful , then run miner commnad
$sudo ./start.sh
if you want to run it under gnome desktop, run comand
$sudo systemctl enable gdm
$sudo systemctl start gdm
open a terminal
$sudo ./start.sh
Enjoy! Below is my miner output !
Hope it can help somebody!
