title: Mining with MinoTari | ||
subtitle: "Getting up and running mining the latest MinoTari" | ||
class: subpage | ||
--- | ||
|
||
With the newest releases of MinoTari we have changed a bit how to get up and running with mining. | ||
|
||
## Install the Minotari Aurora Wallet | ||
|
||
Tari Aurora is available on the [Apple App](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/tari-aurora/id1503654828) | ||
and [Google Play](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tari.android.wallet&hl=en&gl=US) stores. This is only for the Stagenet version. If you want to get access to the Nextnet version of Tari Aurora, please see [IOS test flight](https://testflight.apple.com/join/8ccFp84C) or [Android](https://app.bitrise.io/app/a5c3eb49143b3bc5/build/9d61f413-4cd5-4857-bdac-69a48de0da5d/artifact/b288e7e9166571dc/p/88de4dd570cd21f845d2c60c3233a0d5) | ||
|
||
# Install the MinoTari Suite | ||
|
||
## Windows | ||
|
||
Head to the downloads page of the [Tari Website](https://www.tari.com/downloads/) to get the latest installer (tari_suite-...-windows-x64-installer.exe) and execute it; this will guide you through the setup | ||
and install all dependencies. Just double-click the installer and accept all the default prompts. Binaries are available | ||
to download, but the recommended way for Windows is to use the installer. | ||
|
||
## OSX or UNIX | ||
|
||
Head to the downloads page of the [Tari Website](https://www.tari.com/downloads/) to get the latest binaries for your OS. | ||
|
||
### Install XMRig | ||
|
||
This is only applicable if you plan to do Monero merge mining. Tari uses XMRig for merge mining and it can be downloaded | ||
from their [website](https://xmrig.com/download). | ||
|
||
# Runtime | ||
|
||
## MinoTari Node and Console Wallet | ||
|
||
### Starting Windows | ||
|
||
MinoTari node and Console Wallet can be started by double-clicking on the shortcut. | ||
|
||
### Starting with OSX or UNIX | ||
|
||
MinoTari node can be started in a new terminal with: `./minotari_node` | ||
Console Wallet can be started in a new terminal with: `./minotari_console_wallet` | ||
|
||
### Running | ||
|
||
On first run the MinoTari Node or Console Wallet, it will ask you if you want to mine, select `Y` and press enter. | ||
|
||
The MinoTari node will ask you on the first run if you want to create an ID, select `Y` and press enter. | ||
|
||
The Console Wallet will take you through a setup guide to get started. When asking for the password, note that it does not show typed characters, this is for security reasons. | ||
|
||
### Exit | ||
|
||
Exit the base node with the following: | ||
|
||
```console | ||
Ctrl-C | ||
>> quit | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Exit the console wallet by pressing `F10` or `ctrl-c`. | ||
|
||
|
||
## Run the Sha3x miner: | ||
|
||
Run MinoTari_miner to start the miner with the base node running. | ||
On startup it will ask for your MinoTari node address, the default should be correct if you have not changed anything, just press enter. | ||
Next, it will ask for your wallet address, enter your console wallet address or Tari Aurora wallet address. Press enter. | ||
It should start mining. | ||
|
||
## RandomX/Monero Merge Mining | ||
|
||
### Edit the XMRig Config | ||
|
||
#### OSX / Linux: | ||
|
||
Edit the `config.json` file in your XMRig install folder, and remember to add your own respective Monero wallet address | ||
or select one from above. | ||
|
||
```console | ||
{ | ||
"autosave": true, | ||
"cpu": true, | ||
"opencl": false, | ||
"cuda": false, | ||
"pools": [{ | ||
"coin": "monero", | ||
"url": "127.0.0.1:18081", | ||
"user": "YOUR MONERO WALLET ADDRESS HERE", | ||
"pass": "MyWallet", | ||
"tls": false, | ||
"daemon": true | ||
}] | ||
} | ||
``` | ||
|
||
#### Windows: | ||
|
||
Nothing to do here for Stagenet - this is done automatically when the Windows installer is run, however, if you want to | ||
run mainnet, do the following: | ||
|
||
Edit `config\xmrig_config_example_mainnet.json` to add your own Monero mainnet wallet address or select the one above. | ||
|
||
Edit `runtime\source_xmrig_env.bat` - change | ||
|
||
copy `/y /v "%config_path%\xmrig_config_example_stagenet.json" "%TARI_XMRIG_DIR%\config.json"` | ||
|
||
to | ||
|
||
copy `/y /v "%config_path%\xmrig_config_example_mainnet.json" "%TARI_XMRIG_DIR%\config.json"` | ||
|
||
### Run the Merge Mining Proxy | ||
|
||
#### OSX / Linux: | ||
|
||
Open a terminal at the XMRig installation location and execute the following: | ||
|
||
`minotari_merge_mining_proxy` | ||
|
||
#### Windows: | ||
|
||
Double-click the shortcut or start it via the Windows menu (`Tari Testnet`). | ||
|
||
### Run XMRig | ||
|
||
#### OSX / Linux: | ||
|
||
Open a terminal at the XMRig installation location and execute the following: | ||
|
||
`xmrig` | ||
|
||
#### Windows: | ||
|
||
Double-click the shortcut or start it via the Windows menu (`Tari Testnet`). | ||
|
||
### More information | ||

This is a very limited quick guide to get started with MinoTari, and only shows the basic settings. More detail is | ||
