How to mine Monero and compile XMRig on a Raspberry Pi 4! CPU Mining in 2021!

[Ghost]

sudo apt-get install git build-essential cmake libuv1-dev libssl-dev libhwloc-dev 

git clone https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig.git 

mkdir xmrig/build && cd xmrig/build 

cmake .. 

make -j4

Very simple, basically SSH into your Raspberry Pi 3 or 4 and run those commands above to download and compile the XMRig miner to mine Monero on your Pi.

To run the Monero miner, simply run:

./xmrig -o us-west.minexmr.com:443 -u 43ruPy2uKauGyB5vjxwg3LYjikfpNC9kPgyUKZbL9pAraW3e2GLQWWqY1bmBgzJHtsYsmcrYgSJV4eAooe8LvZ3ZEwXJKht -k --tls --rig-id pi4tut

Hi. I tried this just this morning and in the very first step "sudo apt-get install git build-essential cmake libuv1-dev libssl-dev libhwloc-dev" I get an error that the Pi is unable to locate package libss1-dev.

I tried continuing with the other steps, but it seemed to break down after that with additional errors. 

Any help would be apprciated.

Thanks,

Steve

Nevermind. I misread the line and used a 1 instead of an L on libssl-dev
