Bitcoin Mining on a RaspberryPi
Please be aware that currently this project is in Beta and not yet ready to be widely used.
The current recommended requirements is a Raspberry Pi model 4 (the RAM does not really matter) with the default operating system already installed on it. It is also recommended to use a dedicated device since mining might use ressources from other process and make them slower than usual.
- Open the terminal of your raspberry pi (or connect to it through SSH)
- Ensure you are in the home repository
$ cd ~
- Download shurikenpi
$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Urban-Hacker/shurikenpi.io/main/install.sh
- Make it executable
$ chmod +x ./install.sh
- Run it
$ ./install.sh
- Follow the instructions in the installation wizard
- Once installed, you will need to go in the directory where ShurikenPi is installed. In the future this will not be necessary.
cd ~/shurikenpi/shurikenpi.io
- To start shuriken pi you can use the start command. To stop it or get the status use stop or status. See example bellow:
$ ./shuriken.sh start
