{{info|text=If you are on Linux, replace <code>py -3</code> with <code>python3</code> in all commands.}}

===What you need===

*The [[https://github.com/zoogie/seedminer/releases/latest latest]] and [[https://github.com/zoogie/seedminer/releases/tag/v2.1 v2.1]] releases of Seedminer (the .zip files NOT labeled as source code)

*Any 3.x version of [[https://www.python.org/downloads/ python]] installed

**If you are on Linux, you likely already have Python 3. Check by opening a terminal and entering <code>python3 -V</code> - if this returns a version number, it will work for this guide.

#Extract the contents of the Seedminer <code>.zip</code> and move the folder inside it that matches your OS to anywhere on your PC - this Seedminer folder will be where multiple other files are placed

#In the Seedminer folder, hold SHIFT and right-click anywhere in the folder's empty space, then click the option that opens a terminal, PowerShell, or Command Prompt

#In the opened window, ~~type~~ <code>py -3 -mpip install pycryptodomex</code> - once it~~'s done installing~~, keep the window open as you will need it later

#In the opened window, enter the command <code>py -3 -mpip install pycryptodomex</code> - once it finishes, keep the window open as you will need it later

#*If this command fails with the error <code>No module named pip</code> on Linux, use your system's package manager (such as apt-get, dnf, or yum) to <code>install python3-pip</code>, then try again.

#Put the target console's SD card into your computer, navigate to the <code>Nintendo 3DS</code> folder on the SD, and copy the name of the 32-character-long folder directly inside

#*This folder, known as the ID0, is system-specific. Only one should be present - if you see multiple, follow [[3dsguide:troubleshooting#multiple-long-names-in-nintendo-3ds-folder|these instructions.]]

In this section, you will mine <code>movable.sed</code> in order to continue with the main guide.

#~~Inside~~ the Command Prompt window, enter the command <code>py -3 seedminer_launcher3.py id0 <id0></code>

#Open the terminal/PowerShell/Command Prompt window from earlier

#Inside this window, enter the command <code>py -3 seedminer_launcher3.py id0 <id0></code>

#*Replace <code><id0></code> with the ID0 you copied into a document

#Once it completes, enter the command <code>py -3 seedminer_launcher3.py gpu</code>
