cmake -Bbuild
make -Cbuild -j$(nproc)
```
Copy binary and example configuration to your home directory:
```
cp build/xmrig ~/
cp src/config.json ~/
```

Binaries are available for multiple distributions and operative systems, but you can also build the miner by yourself. Take a loot at [XMrig's docs](https://xmrig.com/docs/miner)
## Selecting a pool
@ -126,30 +56,7 @@ smaller pool](https://redd.it/g6uh2l).
## Configuring the miner
Navigate to your chosen pool's webpage and read their
documentation. They should mention an address and port for you to
enter into your miner. For example, `pool.xmr.pt:3333`.
Next, open up the config.json you copied or extracted earlier in your
favourite text editor. Scroll down to the line that says
`donate.v2.xmrig.com:3333` and change the text inside the quotes to
the address of your pool. The line below should contain
`YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS`. Change that to your actual wallet address.
After these modifications, your configuration should look something like this:
```
{
// [...]
"pools": [
{
"url": "pool.xmr.pt:3333",
"user": "43YjW8SZov..."
}
],
// [...]
}
```
See the [official docs](https://xmrig.com/docs/miner/config), for instructions and suggestions.
