Work in progress. Working solvers CPU_TROMP, CPU_XENONCAT, CUDA_TROMP, CUDA_DJEZO
+
sudo apt-get upgrade
General instructions:
+
sudo apt-get update
 
+
sudo apt install qt5-default
    Install CUDA SDK v8 (make sure you have cuda libraries in LD_LIBRARY_PATH and cuda toolkit bins in PATH)
+
sudo apt-get install cmake build-essential libboost-all-dev
        example on Ubuntu:
+
cd /usr/local/src
        LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/cuda-8.0/lib64:/usr/local/cuda-8.0/lib64/stubs"
+
git clone https://github.com/sarath-hotspot/nheqminer.git267
        PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/cuda-8.0/"
+
cd nheqminer/nheqminer
        PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/cuda-8.0/bin"
+
mkdir build
 
+
cd build
    Use Boost 1.62+ (if it is not available from the repos you will have to download and build it yourself)
+
cmake ..
 
+
make
    CMake v3.5 (if it is not available from the repos you will have to download and build it yourself)
 
 
 
    Currently support only static building (CPU_XENONCAT, CUDA_DJEZO are enabled by default, check CMakeLists.txt in nheqminer root folder)
 
 
 
    If not on Ubuntu make sure you have fasm installed and accessible in PATH
 
 
 
    After that open the terminal and run the following commands:
 
        git clone https://github.com/nicehash/nheqminer.git
 
        Generating asm object file:
 
            On Ubuntu:
 
                cd nheqminer/cpu_xenoncat/asm_linux/
 
                sh assemble.sh
 
            bundeled fasm not compatible:
 
                delete/replace (inside nheqminer/cpu_xenoncat/asm_linux/ directory) with fasm binary compatible with your distro
 
                cd nheqminer/cpu_xenoncat/asm_linux/
 
                sh assemble.sh
 
        cd ../../../
 
        mkdir build && cd build
 
        cmake ../nheqminer
 
        make -j $(nproc)
 
 
 
Run instructions:
 
 
 
Parameters: -h Print this help and quit -l [location] Stratum server:port -u [username] Username (bitcoinaddress) -a [port] Local API port (default: 0 = do not bind) -d [level] Debug print level (0 = print all, 5 = fatal only, default: 2) -b [hashes] Run in benchmark mode (default: 200 iterations)
 
 
 
CPU settings -t [num_thrds] Number of CPU threads -e [ext] Force CPU ext (0 = SSE2, 1 = AVX, 2 = AVX2)
 
 
 
NVIDIA CUDA settings -ci CUDA info -cd [devices] Enable CUDA mining on spec. devices -cb [blocks] Number of blocks -ct [tpb] Number of threads per block Example: -cd 0 2 -cb 12 16 -ct 64 128
 
 
 
If run without parameters, miner will start mining with 75% of available logical CPU cores. Use parameter -h to learn about available parameters:
 
 
 
Example to run benchmark on your CPU:
 
 
 
    nheqminer -b
 
 
 
Example to mine on your CPU with your own BTC address and worker1 on NiceHash USA server:
 
 
 
    nheqminer -l equihash.usa.nicehash.com:3357 -u YOUR_BTC_ADDRESS_HERE.worker1
 
 
 
Example to mine on your CPU with your own BTC address and worker1 on EU server, using 6 threads:
 
 
 
    nheqminer -l equihash.eu.nicehash.com:3357 -u YOUR_BTC_ADDRESS_HERE.worker1 -t 6
 
 
 
Note: if you have a 4-core CPU with hyper threading enabled (total 8 threads) it is best to run with only 6 threads (experimental benchmarks shows that best results are achieved with 75% threads utilized)
 
 
 
Example to mine on your CPU as well on your CUDA GPUs with your own BTC address and worker1 on EU server, using 6 CPU threads and 2 CUDA GPUs:
 
 
 
    nheqminer -l equihash.eu.nicehash.com:3357 -u YOUR_BTC_ADDRESS_HERE.worker1 -t 6 -cd 0 1
