# Installing and running Tari Launchpad

## Step 1 - ⚓️ Docker ⚓️
Launchpad uses [Docker](https://www.docker.com/) to install, configure, and manage the 6 different services that
make up the Tari Layer One suite.

So if you don't have it on your machine, you need to install Docker before you can run Tari Launchpad.
You can download it from the docker website:

* [Docker for Mac](https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-mac/install/)
* [Docker for Windows](https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/install/)
* [Docker for Linux](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/)

Download the installer for your platform and follow the installation instructions. Once Docker is installed and
running, you can ignore it.

## Step 2 - ⬇️ Download Tari Launchpad ⬇️

You can download the Tari Launchpad from the [Launchpad download page](https://tari.com/downloads/launchpad).

## Step 3 - 🚀️ Run Tari Launchpad ️🚀️

First unzip the downloaded archive. It's typically called `tari_launchpad_cli-v{ver}-{network}-{platform}.zip`.

You can usually run Tari Launchpad by double-clicking the extracted binary file.

<div class="note warning">
On <b>MacOs</b> you may get a complaint that the file is from an unidentified developer. In this case, you
need to right-click the file and select "Open" from the context menu. A dialog box will ask if you're sure you want
to open the file.

<p>Click "Open" to continue.</p>
</div>

You will be greeted by the Tari Launchpad dashboard.

## Step 4 - ⚙️ Configure launchpad ⚙️

### Tari wallet address

Copy your Tari wallet address into the "Wallet payment address" field.

You can find your wallet address in **Aurora** by clicking on the big emoji icon on Aurora's home screen, then tap
on your emoji id to expand it, and then tap "Copy emoji id".

Transfer the copied emoji id to the machine running Tari Launchpad by emailing it to yourself, or via any other
suitable method.

On your launchpad machine, copy the emoji id into your clipboard, and then select the _Wallet payment address_ field
so that it turns yellow. You can then paste the emoji id into the field.

### (Optional) Monero mining address
Follow the same procedure you used to copy your Tari wallet address to copy your Monero mining address from your
Monero wallet to Launchpad.

## Step 5 - ⛏️ Mine! ⛏️
<div class="note">
The first time you start mining, launchpad has to download and synchronize with the Tari blockchain.
<br/>This can take up to an hour, so grab a ☕️ and hang tight.
</div>

### Merge mining with Monero

Hit the "M" key to start merge mining with Monero.

You'll see the `xmrig` and `MM proxy` containers fire up, and you should see `xmrig` taking up 50% - 100% of your CPU.

### Mining Tari SHA3X

Hit the "T" key to start mining Tari SHA3X.

You'll see the `Sha3Miner` container fire up, and it will taking up 50% - 100% of your CPU.

## Step 6 - 📈️ Profit 📈️

If you find a block, it will reflect in your Aurora wallet a few seconds to a few seconds after the block is found.
Be patient. Depending on your luck, and how many other miners are on the network, it can take a anything from a few
minutes to a few days to find a block.
