At first the nano-work-server have to be started. This is done by changing into the subfolder “./bin/linux”.
There you find the executable. You could check if it runs with:
./nano-work-server –-help

For this example we need the following parameters:
Now start the server executable with:
./nano-work-server -c 4 -g 0:0
it should now report that the program is ready and in this example that it could use the gpu.
Initializing GPU: NVIDIA Corporation GeForce GTX 1080
Ready to receive requests.
When the nano-work-server runs, open another terminal and change into the folder with the extracted bpow software. Check if the software runs with:
python3 bpow_client.py --help
If it succeeds you will see the description of all parameters the program could understand.
For this example we need the following parameters:
–payout your Banano-Address
Now start the banano client with (replace ban_##### with your address):
Be sure that you typed your address correct! (Starting with ban_ …, no typos)
python3 bpow_client.py --payout ban_#####
After you started the program it reports that its ready for work:
