I am a newbie in using Ubuntu OS. I have Ubuntu 16.04.1 (VPS). I am not sure about if it is 64bit or 32bit. I am trying to install "MinerGate" (Software for minning cryptocurrencies). When I enter the command

sudo apt-get update && wget -O minergate-cli.deb && sudo dpkg -i minergate-cli.deb

It downloads the file and when It tries to install it, I get this error

dpkg: error processing archive minergate-cli.deb (--install): package architecture (amd64) does not match system (ppc64el)
Errors were encountered while processing: minergate-cli.deb

Is Minergate provide deb package for your architecture? If not, you could download the source code and build it yourself

You can try this method to install MinerGate 1.5 on Ubuntu 18.04 and later

Update the system dependencies

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

First try to install MinerGate 1.5 hoping it will work

sudo wget -O MinerGate-xFast-cli-1.5-ubuntu && sudo dpkg -i MinerGate-xFast-cli-1.5-ubuntu

Try to install missing dependency by manually

sudo apt-get install nvidia-cuda-dev

Fail to do so, then try to fix it

sudo apt --fix-broken install

Retry to install MinerGate 1.5

sudo wget -O MinerGate-xFast-cli-1.5-ubuntu && sudo dpkg -i MinerGate-xFast-cli-1.5-ubuntu

you will be a success with flying colors...
