Installing TPRUVOT’s CCMiner on Ubuntu 16.04

How-to Guide for Installing the Linux version of ccminer (tpruvot) on Ubuntu 16.04.04

This is a quick guide that I created a few months back.  It gets the latest version of tpruvot’s ccminer installed and running on your Ubuntu mining rig.  There are a lot of algos which can use this, and since most of my rigs run on linux, I had to find a way to get it installed.  It is the general commands that I use from a terminal.  The assumption here is that you already have Ubuntu 16.04 installed and updated.  It is also assumed that you are running NVidia 1080Ti cards, and they are all functional.  I am going to run it all logged in as sudo to make it quick and easy.

From the terminal:

sudo bash

apt-get dist-upgade

apt-get purge nvidia*

reboot

mkdir /drivers && mkdir /drivers/nvidia

wget https://developer.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/9.1/Prod/local_installers/cuda_9.1.85_387.26_linux

mv cuda_9.1.85_387.26_linux cuda_9.1.85_387.26_linux.run

chmod +x cuda_9.1.85_387.26_linux cuda_9.1.85_387.26_linux.run

sh cuda_9.1.85_387.26_linux.run

Answer “yes” for installing the nvidia-drivers, the cuda tools and the symbolic link.

apt-get install git automake openssl libssl1.0.0 libssl-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev

cd /drivers/

git clone https://github.com/tpruvot/ccminer.git

cd ccminer

nano Makefile.am

cd /drivers/ccminer

./build.sh

make install

cd /home/miner/ && nano .bashrc

add this to the end:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/cuda-9.1/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export PATH=/usr/local/cuda-9.1/bin:$PATH

CTRL & X

Y to save

nano start.sh

Insert the following into the file:

nvidia-smi -pm 1
nvidia-smi -acp 0
nvidia-smi -pl 300
./ccminer -a x16r -i 20 -o stratum+tcp://us.bsod.pw:2176 -u RMzHAFgqgjV5qLkajBjLQ325V7HWBpG3d9 -p c=RVN

CTRL & X

Y to save

chmod +x start.sh

./start.sh

You are now up and mining.  I have chosen Raven for this one, only since I was mining it when I put it together.  You will want to remove my wallet address and insert your own.  Otherwise, the rest will get your rig up and running.

Happy Mining!
