### Operation
Defaults - The settings.sh contains a number of variables. With the exception of the 'xmrig' binary, which is installed to `/usr/bin/xmrig`, all files remain in the cloned project directory `~/xmrig-bash-scripts`. Any files generated while running the scripts are also created in this directory.
During install the folder source for [xmrig cpu](https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig) is cloned to `~/xmrig-bash-scripts/xmrig-cpu/`. The `config.json` is also created in this path.
During install the folder source for [xmrig cpu](https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig) is cloned to `~/xmrig-bash-scripts/xmrig-cpu/`. The file `config.json`, used to configure xmrig, is also created in this path and is passed to xmrig at startup.
This should work out the box, if you edit only the top section of `settings.sh` and followed the steps here.
During installation it is recomended to enter your own settings. This creates a file named 'mysettings.sh' which will not be overwritten during future installs or upgrades. Values for variables found in 'mysettings.sh' are used to create 'config.json'.
This should work out the box, if you follow the installation steps and enter your own values for 'mysettings.sh.
Once you have a running xmrig then you can start playing around and tweaking to suite requirements.
