Hi

sorry for simple question (for some people) but can You write I mean step by step
how to install VanitySearch on Linux ie. Mint, Ubuntu etc.

First of all.
1. I downloaded archive from github https://github.com/JeanLucPons/VanitySearch/archive/1.17.tar.gz
2. I extracted this archive to my desktop
3. Then In my Linux Mint I opened terminal and I navigated to this folder ie. VanitySearch-1.17
4. Then I did put and run the command:
Code:
make
5. Don't know what next to open program and start generating new addresses

Thanks!

If you do not use CUDA, just run tthis comand:
$ make all

If you use CUDA (GPU device), you should compile in another way:
$ make gpu=1 ccap=20 all

where: gpu=1 is the number of your GPU device (gpu=0 is also possible for one device)
           ccap=20 is the compute capability depending on your GPU device

Find your device here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CUDA and input the version in accordance with your device (for example 20 for version 2.0; 61 for version 6.1; etc)

As soon as you compile the program you can run it in the following way:

$ ./VanitySearch -t 0 -gpu 1TryMe

where -gpu means you use GPU, -t 0 means that you so not use CPU (0 threads)
"./" - important part to run the program in Linux  Wink
