Immich is an open-source tool used for mining cryptocurrencies from a miner's perspective. It can be installed on macOS with the following steps:
Homebrew is a package manager for macOS. It allows users to easily install and manage software packages, including Immich. To install Homebrew, run the following command in the terminal:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
Git is a version control system used to manage source code. Immich is hosted on GitHub, so we need to install Git to clone the Immich repository. To install Git, run the following command in the terminal:
brew install git
Once Git is installed, we can clone the Immich repository from GitHub. To do this, run the following command in the terminal:
git clone https://github.com/alextran1502/immich.git
This will clone the Immich repository in the current directory.
Immich has several dependencies that need to be installed before it can be used. To install the dependencies, run the following command in the terminal:
cd immich && pip3 install -r requirements.txt
This command will change the current directory to the Immich directory and install the required Python dependencies.
Immich requires a configuration file to connect to a mining pool and start mining. To generate a default configuration file, run the following command:
python3 immich.py --config
This command will create a file called config.yml in the Immich directory. Open this file and configure the following options:
wallet_address: the address of the wallet where mined coins will be deposited.pool: the mining pool to connect to.username: the username for the mining pool.password: the password for the mining pool.Save the config.yml file after making changes.
Immich is now ready to start mining. To start mining, run the following command in the terminal:
python3 immich.py --mine
This command will start mining using the configuration file specified in the previous step.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed and configured Immich on macOS!
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
