Bitcoin mining on Ubuntu 11.10

mining - How to mine in Ubuntu?  October 23, 2013 – 12:23

GUIminer can be run on linux, although the process (described in the official thread) is somewhat complicated. To summarise that post, you will need to:

  1. Get the source code from GitHub:

    git clone

  2. Install OpenCL drivers and PyOpenCL.

  3. Install wxPython:

    sudo apt-get install python-wxtools

  4. Run guiminer.py:

    python guiminer.py

Note that (at least to use the poclbm backend) no compiling is necessary since GUIminer is written in python. But I can still understand if you find that process a little daunting, since I don't know your level of technological familiarity with these sorts of tasks.
