From Binaries

The release page includes precompiled binaries for Linux, macOS and Windows.

Usage

To start mining you need to run kaspad and have an address to send the rewards to. There's a guide here on how to run a full node and how to generate addresses: https://github.com/kaspanet/docs/blob/main/Getting%20Started/Full%20Node%20Installation.md

Help:

kaspa-miner 0.2.1
A Kaspa high performance CPU miner

USAGE:
    kaspa-miner [FLAGS] [OPTIONS] --mining-address <mining-address>

FLAGS:
    -d, --debug                   Enable debug logging level
    -h, --help                    Prints help information
        --mine-when-not-synced    Mine even when kaspad says it is not synced, only useful when passing `--allow-submit-
                                  block-when-not-synced` to kaspad  [default: false]
        --testnet                 Use testnet instead of mainnet [default: false]
    -V, --version                 Prints version information

OPTIONS:
        --devfund <devfund-address>            Mine a percentage of the blocks to the Kaspa devfund [default: Off]
        --devfund-percent <devfund-percent>    The percentage of blocks to send to the devfund [default: 1]
    -s, --kaspad-address <kaspad-address>      The IP of the kaspad instance [default: 127.0.0.1]
    -a, --mining-address <mining-address>      The Kaspa address for the miner reward
    -t, --threads <num-threads>                Amount of miner threads to launch [default: number of logical cpus]
    -p, --port <port>                          Kaspad port [default: Mainnet = 16111, Testnet = 16211]

To start mining you just need to run the following:

./kaspa-miner --mining-address kaspa:XXXXX

This will run the miner on all the available CPU cores.

Devfund

NOTE: This feature is off by default
The devfund is a fund managed by the Kaspa community in order to fund Kaspa development
A miner that wants to mine a percentage into the dev-fund can pass the following flags:
kaspa-miner --mining-address= XXX --devfund=kaspa:precqv0krj3r6uyyfa36ga7s0u9jct0v4wg8ctsfde2gkrsgwgw8jgxfzfc98
and can pass --devfund-precent=XX.YY to mine only XX.YY% of the blocks into the devfund (passing --devfund without specifying a percent will default to 1%)
