Easiest: the one-command CLI miner

Install the animica CLI in a Python virtual environment (Python 3.10+), then run the miner. It auto-downloads the right miner binaries for your OS (macOS/Linux/Windows) — no manual setup.

  1. Create and activate a virtual environment:
    python3 -m venv ~/animica-venv
source ~/animica-venv/bin/activate        # Windows: animica-venv\Scripts\activate
  2. Install the CLI:
    pip install --upgrade animica
  3. Start mining (replace the address with your anim1… payout address and pick threads):
    animica miner dual-mine <your-anim1-address> \
  --pool-host pool.animica.org --threads 8 --worker myrig

Dual mode mines ANM (SHA3) + Monero (RandomX) 50/50. For a single coin add --only animica or --only xmr. Your shares and balance then show under your address in Stats.
