Select No to the driver update
Yes to the toolkit install
cd /home/miner/ && nano .bashrc
Add this to the end of the file:
# add cuda tools to command path
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/cuda-10.0/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export PATH=/usr/local/cuda-10.0/bin:$PATH
nano /etc/ld.so.conf.d/cuda-10.0-x86_64
Put only one line:
/usr/local/cuda-10.0/lib64
CTRL X to Save and Exit the file
ldconfig
cd /miner/drivers
git clone https://github.com/tpruvot/ccminer.git
cd ccminer
nano Makefile.am
Remove comment on line which refers to “61”
CTRL X
Yes
cd /miner/drivers/ccminer
./build.sh
make install
nano Start-Raven.sh
Fill the file with the following:
#!/bin/sh
nvidia-smi -pm 1
nvidia-smi -acp 0
#nvidia-smi -pl 300
sleep 2
export GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR=0
export GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE=100
export GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1
export GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT=100

chmod +x Start-Raven.sh
reboot
Log back in
sudo bash
cd /miner/drivers/ccminer
screen ./Start-Raven.sh
Raven will begin to mine
