There is no tutorial everyone can follow.
You seem to think that I must write a tutorial for every single version of linux that everyone could ever run.
Not gonna happen.
Whatever version of linux you are running is your choice.
If you use the linux that the simple and easy to follow 'apt' commands work on, it will work.
What your linux needs to have installed, in place of the 'apt' commands, and the random versions it requires - is alas what you have to work out.
Nothing more and nothing less.
Every other step will be the same.
Lesson for you about how git works since forever:
Your comment about a tar file, while you are trying to piss me off with it, is exactly the same effect as the "git clone" command.
Git tar files are
only copies of the data the git clone command will give you. Nothing else.
I've only been writing programs since 1977 oh well.
No idea how many languages, too many to remember.
Makes no difference though it you don't understand the basics of building software on linux.
I didn't mean to abuse you and figured you'd be in HMB someday soon and a beer was my pleasure.
Having written software since 1979 in 22 languages on darn near every device made and landing a bride who said "I liked the software so much I married the Progranmer" I thought perhaps I could help you fix your docs and tutorials so more people could access them easier.
You're losing customers...a lot of them...much more than you're acquiring....but are doing well enough so no big deal.
I'll tell the kids to look elsewhere and tell sidehack 30 kids x3-5 boards or $10K\semester just ain't in the pipe on this puppy.
Have a great weekend and let me know if you are ever in HMB - burningwoodenleg@gmail - or want to work up a tutorial EVERYONE can follow.
I don't drink beer, and using threats wont work either - I get nothing from cgminer and I get nothing from the miners sidehack sells.
While I do support sidehack by writing the drivers for him and suggesting the miners to people,
you will find that no one else sells current small USB miners anyway, so you are shooting yourself in the foot with that threat - ouch.
