Miner Setup

Similar to the node, Installation and configuration of the manager can be done both manually or with the assistance of a tool.
Manual setup and config of the manager affords users better control over hash-rates, context switching, and fine tuning. If you've used a Linux based OS before, manual setup should will be straightforward.
For less technical users, it is recommend to utilize both guided setup tutorials in tandem with pre-built tools for a smoother install experience and to ensure your manager is running correctly with your node.
Prior to installing and configuring the manager, you should visit the Run A Node to setup a node for the manager to connect to.
