# HowTo Use xmr-stak
## Content Overview
* [Configuration](#configuration)
* [Usage on Windows](#usage-on-windows)
* [Usage on Linux](#usage-on-linux)
* [Command Line Options](#command-line-options)
* [HTML and JSON API report configuraton](#xx)
## Configurations
Before you started the miner the first time there are no config files available.
Config files will be created at the first start.
The number of files depends on the available backends.
`config.txt` contains the common miner settings.
`amd.txt`, `cpu.txt` and `nvidia.txt` contains miner backend specific settings and can be used for further tuning ([Tuning Guide](tuning.md)).
## Usage on Windows
1) Double click the `xmr-stak.exe` file
2) Fill in the pool url, username and password
## Usage on Linux
1) Open a terminal within the folder with the binary
2) Start the miner with `./xmr-stak`
## Command Line Options
The miner allow to overwrite some of the settings via command line options.
```
Usage: xmr-stak [OPTION]...
-h, --help show this help
-v, --version show version number
-c, --config FILE common miner configuration file
--currency NAME currency to mine: monero or aeon
--noCPU disable the CPU miner backend
--cpu FILE CPU backend miner config file
--noAMD disable the AMD miner backend
--amd FILE AMD backend miner config file
The Following options temporary overwrites the config file settings:
-o, --url URL pool url and port, e.g. pool.usxmrpool.com:3333
-u, --user USERNAME pool user name or wallet address
-p, --pass PASSWD pool password, in the most cases x or empty ""
## HTML and JSON API report configuraton
To configure the reports shown on the [README](README.md) side you need to edit the httpd_port variable. Then enable wifi on your phone and navigate to [miner ip address]:[httpd_port] in your phone browser. If you want to use the data in scripts, you can get the JSON version of the data at url [miner ip address]:[httpd_port]/api.json
## Default Developer Donation
By default the miner will donate 2% of the hashpower (2 minute in 100 minutes) to my pool. If you want to change that, edit **xmrstak/donate-level.hpp** before you build the binaries.
If you want to donate directly to support further development, here is my wallet
