Title: Setting up an S9 using a Mac - Anyone managed it?
Post by: Brokerstar on October 15, 2017, 07:36:04 PM
As the title says really.

I'm trying to set up an Antminer S9 and have a mac, which isn't compatible with the Bitmain downloads, so I can't figure out what the IP address of the miner is.

Has anyone else managed to get set up with a mac?

I have no experience with setting up an Antminer S9 with a Mac.
However an easy solution for this would be using a hypervisor like VMware or Boot Camp and installing Windows on a VM.

You could just easily go to your router web configuration page and see the ip address in the local area network ip list.
