+
+
+
+## Install HUSH
+Look at [this guide](https://git.hush.is/hush/hush3/src/branch/master/INSTALL.md) if you have not already installed HUSH on the machine you intend to mine on.
+###### *`Note:` If running `Windows` head over to the [releases page](https://git.hush.is/hush/hush3/releases) and download the latest Windows version.*
+
+
+
+
+
+# HUSH Smart Chain (HSC) Setup
+After installing HUSH open a terminal in `~/hush3/src`
+###### *`Note:` installation path may be different depending on if installed as `root` or `normal` user, look for the `hush3` directory in either the `root` or `home` directory.*
+###### *`Note:` If on `Windows` omit the `&` in the folowing commands.*
+
+
+
+## Start the HSC
+Input the following command in your terminal:
+```
+./hush-smart-chain -ac_name=DRAGONX -ac_algo=randomx -ac_halving=3500000 -ac_reward=300000000 -ac_blocktime=36 -ac_private=1 -addnode=176.126.87.241 &
+```
+###### *`Note:` Make sure to input this command exactly, otherwise your node may not be able to connect!*
+
+
+
+## Enable Mining
+
+once the HSC is running all that is left to do is enable mining with this command:
+
+```
+./hush-cli -ac_name=DRAGONX setgenerate true $(nproc) &
+```
+
+## Verify Mining
+To make sure you are actually connected to the network and mining input the following command:
+```
+./hush-cli -ac_name=DRAGONX getinfo | grep connections
+```
+- If it returns `"connection": 1` you are connected and mining!
