Absolute easiest way to solo mine is use -ck's solo pool at  solo.ckpool.org. Ya is an oxymoron but it gives painless access to solo miners. Their thread is here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=763510.0) I suggest you post this question there as -ck or someone else will have your answers.

thanks for answer, but i would like to mine solo without using any pool. is there a configuration that would work for 1 s9?

You would have to run your own full node and do a ton of work.

Or you can point it to ck's pool and be running in moments.

You missed my point; -ck's solo pool does not share the rewards among the pool users. The finder gets all rewards and TX fees minus a 1% operators fee. As Fanatic said, he just made a painless way to solo mine vs setting up your own node. And, much discussion of your odds etc there.
