See the [official docs](https://xmrig.com/docs/miner/config), for instructions and suggestions.

Starting the miner
|
|
|
Windows users can double click on xmrig.exe. Users of other operating systems should `cd` into the directory that contains XMRig and then type `./xmrig` and press return.

Troubleshooting
|
|
|
Anti-virus keeps removing XMRig
|
|
|
Some anti-viruses flag XMRig as malware because it is often deployed to infected computers to mine without the owner's consent. As it is your computer and you are configuring the miner to mine for you, it is safe to add XMRig to your anti-virus whitelist.
|
|
|
Cannot read/set MSR
|
|
|
On some CPUs, XMRig tries to increase performance by disabling certain features like your CPU's instruction prefetcher. These operations require root/administrator, so try right clicking xmrig.exe and running it as administrator, or running `sudo ./xmrig` on other systems.
|
|
|
Algo not known
|
|
|
Find the line in config.json that says `algo: null` and change it to `algo: "rx/0"`. By default, XMRig expects the pool to tell it which hashing algorithm to use.
