Introduction

Here, we’ll be installing quai-gpu-miner, the implementation of a Quai Network ProgPOW miner. This tutorial focuses on installing and running quai-gpu-miner on HiveOS using a Flight Sheet. HiveOS also provides a web based dashboard for streamlined management and maintenance of your Quai Network GPU miner.

​
Requirements

In order to run the quai-gpu-miner on HiveOS and mine valid blocks, you’ll need the following:

Synced go-quai node

Configured Stratum proxy

HiveOS machine

NVIDIA or AMD GPU

4GB+ of RAM

​
Environment Setup

​
HiveOS

For this tutorial, you’ll need a HiveOS machine. Instructions for how to install HiveOS on your rig and configure it can be found on the HiveOS installation documentation.

​
Dashboard

Once you’ve installed HiveOS, configure your GPU workers into a Farm. Once configured, you’ll be able to manage workers from a HiveOS dashboard and utilize Flight Sheets.

​
Installation

To start the Flight Sheet installation, open up your HiveOS Farm Dashboard.
