Minera should be installed on the Gridseed controller, usually a Raspberry, with a Debian-like Linux distribution and of course an internet connection.
You can opt for a img file to put in your SD Card or for a manual install.
Image file (img)
The img file is on the go only few days (since today 2014-05-07) and you will be able to download the minera.img and put it in your SD Card without the worry to do anything else but turn on your brand new Minera controller.
Manual install
While you are waiting for the img release you can simply install Minera on your current Linux controller. Check if it's a debian based one otherwise download and install a right distribution. If you have a Raspberry, I suggest you to install Raspbian you can get it here:
http://downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspbian_latest
Simply download and put it in your SD card (there are tons of guide to do this, google it).
When you have your system ready, ssh into it and install Minera
Skip this step and continue below if you have a web server with PHP just installed.
sudo apt-get install -y lighttpd php5-cgi
sudo lighty-enable-mod fastcgi
sudo lighty-enable-mod fastcgi-php
sudo service lighttpd force-reload
When your web server is ready you can install Minera:
sudo apt-get install -y redis-server git screen php5-cli
cd /var/www
sudo git clone https://github.com/michelem09/minera
cd minera
sudo ./install_minera.sh
The installer will configure the system requirements and will tell you the URL to connect to.
Default URL: http://<your-minera-ip>/minera/
Default password: minera
Important: minera system user has password "minera", you should change it if your system is a public host with SSH access.
sudo passwd minera
This isn't the web password, to change the web password, login into the web interface and go to Miner -> Settings
Minerd (CPUMiner-gc3355)
The minerd binary path is:
minera-bin/minerd
It's pre-compiled for Raspberry (ARM) with the latest version available, please refer to https://github.com/siklon/cpuminer-gc3355 if you wanna recompile it.
For Ubuntu user only
In the same path you can find also minerd-ubuntu-64bit file, this one is pre-compiled for Ubuntu 64bit, you should copy it overwriting minerd if you run Minera on Ubuntu.
cd /var/www/minera/minera-bin
sudo cp minerd-ubuntu-64bit minerd
Minera will show you a notification icon in the upper right corner if a new version is available. Click the link to run the upgrade. Your miner will not be stopped, but you should restart it to take full adavntages of updates.
Minera has a complete settings page where you can choose many options to start your miners.
You can add or remove pools for failover and select to be guided or to write your own configuration.
Go to settings (Miner -> Settings) and choose your preferred options.
A sample settings is pre-configured when you run the install_minera.sh script.
Please remember to change your minera's settings or you will mine for my workers :)
If you wanna check your minera's screen session just SSH into it and attach the session:
ssh minera@<your-minera-ip>
screen -r
If you receive the following error:
Cannot open your terminal '/dev/pts/0' - please check.
Please run this commands:
script /dev/null
screen -r
If you wanna check the raw JSON stats from your minerd, please point your browser to:
http://<your-minera-ip>/minera/index.php/app/stats
If the Minera version upgrade fails you could miss a line in /etc/sudoers file, please check you have this line:
www-data ALL = (ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/git
If you miss it run this command:
echo "www-data ALL = (ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/git" | sudo tee -a /etc/sudoers
- Create an img file “plug&play”
- Add some errors control to installer
- Add daily/weekly/monthly charts
- Add more crypto-currencies exchange rates
