Firstly, install Linux onto either a second hard drive if you are confident in dual booting, or find an old computer you don't use any more. I prefer Linux Mint 18.3 Cinnamon, it uses Ubuntu 16.04 architecture so extremely compatible.
Linux Mint 18.3 Cinnamon - https://linuxmint.com/edition.php?id=246
Ubuntu 16.04 - http://releases.ubuntu.com/16.04/ubuntu ... -amd64.iso
Once you have your Linux installed MAKE SURE YOU UPDATE IT FULLY!
Ok, once you are ready you will need to open up a new terminal window.
Press CTRL+ALT+T. This will open a new terminal.
Type -
Then type-cd
A black screen will open up with no text, copy the following into this screen -sudo nano start.sh
When you have pasted the script into the start.sh file press CTRL+X and then "y" to save.#! /bin/bash
set -x #echo on
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk maven git gcc make -y
sudo apt-get install build-essential -y
cd
git clone git://github.com/Programmerdan/arionum-java
cd arionum-java/arionum-miner
git checkout master
touch config.cfg
chmod 755 config.cfg
echo "pool
PREFERRED POOL HERE
WALLET ADDRESS HERE
`nproc`
standard
true
`hostname`" > config.cfg
mvn clean package
chmod +x build-argon.sh
./build-argon.sh
chmod +x run.sh
sudo ./run.sh
You will return to the command prompt, where you will need to type -
Lastly typesudo chmod +x start.sh
If everything went well, the java miner will start mining and there you have it../start.sh
Hope this helps!
