Install Hash Commander

The dashboard to monitor and control your mining machines (NerdQAxe, Bitaxe and others) from your computer. Installation takes 2 minutes and you do not need to know how to code.

Computer

Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit) or 64-bit Linux (Ubuntu, Mint, Debian…). The Mac version is not available yet.

Same network

The computer must be on the same network (Wi-Fi or cable) as the machines.

Browser

The dashboard opens best with Google Chrome. Without it, it opens in your default browser.

Windows

It installs for your user only, so it does not ask for an administrator password.

  1. Download the installer

    Go to the installation section of the site: Download Hash Commander

    Pick the file CentroDeComando-Setup-X.Y.Z.exe. The number changes with each version.

    Only the installer. Files ending in .sig, if you see them, are not for downloading: the app uses them by itself to confirm that updates are genuine.

  2. Open the installer and get past the Windows warning

    Double-click the downloaded file. Since the app does not have a publisher signature yet, Windows shows this warning the first time:

    Windows protected your PC
    Microsoft Defender SmartScreen prevented an unrecognized app from starting…
    More info
    Run anywayDon't run

    Click More info and then Run anyway.

  3. Follow the installer

    Choose the language and click Next. There are two options:

    · Create a desktop shortcut: recommended.
    · Start automatically with Windows: tick it if you want the dashboard always on.

    At the end, leave Run Centro de Comando ticked and click Finish.

  4. The dashboard opens

    A window with the dashboard opens. The app also gets an icon next to the Windows clock: that is where you reopen the dashboard or close the app.

    If the window does not open, type this address in the browser:

    http://localhost:8765/nerdqaxe-dashboard.html

First time in the dashboard

If the sign-in screen appears, create an account with your email and a password (minimum 6 characters) and sign in.

With no machines added, the dashboard looks for them by itself on your network. When they appear, click Add all. You can also type a machine's IP by hand. Later, to search again, use the Find machines on network button.

Updates

When a new version comes out, the dashboard lets you know. Click Update now: the app downloads the new version, checks the signature and only installs it if it is genuine. At the end it reopens by itself.

Common problems

The dashboard does not find my machines

Check that the computer is on the same network as the machines and that the machine's own page opens in the browser using its IP. If the machine is on another Wi-Fi network, add it by IP under Add machine.

Windows deleted the file or the antivirus complains

Always download only from the installation page of this site. The warning appears because the app does not yet have a paid publisher signature. If the antivirus blocks it, allow the file in its settings.

Port 8765 is already in use

The app is already open. Look for the icon next to the clock (Windows) or close the copy that is running before opening another.

How do I uninstall?

Windows: Settings › Apps › Centro de Comando › Uninstall. Mac: drag the app from Applications to the Trash. Linux: delete the AppImage file.
