# Nimble Network ## Mining Nimble on Ubuntu Source: These instructions are targeted towards those who have a bit of command line experience with Linux. You can rent a Cloud GPU running Ubuntu 22.04 by using this link: [https://cloud.vast.ai](https://cloud.vast.ai/?ref_id=94252\&creator_id=94252\&name=nvidia%2Fcuda%3A12.4.1-devel-ubuntu22.04)\ Set storage size to at least 250GB and use the following configuration:
Update: Check out my step by step [guide](https://x.com/ZachZwei/status/1771400654633992235) from renting a GPU to running the miner (with screenshots). ### Install Tmux Using [Tmux](https://github.com/tmux/tmux/wiki) will ensure that your session will always run on your machine. To install it (if its not pre-loaded), just run the command: ``` sudo apt install tmux ``` Next, run Tmux to begin setting up your Nimble Wallet and Miner. ``` tmux ``` If you get disconnected from your instance. Just type: ``` tmux a ``` As long as the instance is not restarted, you can always go back to your session with this command. ### Install GO Before you proceed, check first if Go is installed. Run the following command: ``` go version ```
If you get the prompt above, that means Go 1.22.1 is installed. This is the minimum version required. If you have a lower version or if its not installed then proceed with the next step. Copy the commands below and run it on your Terminal. ``` sudo apt update wget https://go.dev/dl/go1.22.1.linux-amd64.tar.gz rm -rf /usr/local/go && tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.22.1.linux-amd64.tar.gz export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin ``` Check the Go version that was installed. ``` go version ``` It should display the go version 1.22.1. ### Install Nimble’s Wallet CLI Note: Git is required to copy the Github repo of Nimble. ``` sudo apt install git mkdir $HOME/nimble && cd $HOME/nimble git clone https://github.com/nimble-technology/wallet-public.git cd wallet-public make install ``` ### Generate a Nimble Wallet Note: (This step is necessary to generate a Nimble address. If you already a master and miner wallets, then you can just skip this step.) Navigate to the folder where the wallet was installed. Use the following commands. ``` cd cd go/bin ./nimble-networkd keys add ``` Type a passphrase, retype it.\ A `nimblexxxx` address will be generated after following the necessary prompts. Save your address and the seed phrase in a secure place. #### Master Wallet (Important) Generate at least 2 addresses. One of which will be used as your Master Wallet, then other a Miner wallet. Join Nimble Discord to register your addresses:
### Setup Nimble Miner Note: python3.9 (or above) and pip3 are required for the remaining steps ``` sudo apt update sudo apt install python3-venv ``` Go back to your Terminal and start building the miner. ``` cd cd nimble git clone https://github.com/nimble-technology/nimble-miner-public.git cd nimble-miner-public make install ``` Activate the miner ``` source ./nimenv_localminers/bin/activate ``` ### Run Nimble Miner Copy the Nimble address generated from the Nimble wallet. Replace the \ on the command below. ``` make run addr= ``` You can stop the miner by pressing CTRL+C\ To resume mining, re-run the command. ### Troubleshooting * Build Errors\ Having an older version of GO will cause errors in building the wallet and miner.\ Uninstall GO by running these commands one at a time. ``` sudo apt-get remove golang-go ``` ``` sudo apt-get remove --auto-remove golang-go ``` * Update Miner\ There has been some tasks that are not being completed successfully. Update your miner as soon as possible. \ Press CTRL + C to stop your miner. Run `git pull` to get the latest version of the miner.\ Continue mining by running the `make run addr=`
