## Install Nvidia 
sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-390.25.run

## Install Ethminer
git clone https://github.com/ethereum-mining/ethminer 
cd ethminer; git checkout tags/v0.13.0; mkdir build; cd build
cmake .. -DETHASHCUDA=ON -DETHASHCL=OFF
cmake --build .
sudo make install

ethminer -U -M

ethminer -U -M --cuda-parallel-hash 4 -SP 2
