I tried to setup a ETH miner on Linux Ubuntu 16.04.2 together with Jaxx. But it was too messy. Can someone go through step by step together with me?

Hi there. What instructions were you following when you ran into a messy dead end? Asking a specific question about a particular part of the process you were following is more likely to get responses.– Richard HorrocksCommented Mar 17, 2017 at 14:27

I myself am on the Ethereumpool.co pool. Also, I am on Linux 16.04, the problem you said is that you can't get it together with Jaxx? So first off you need to install the Prerequisites. Open a terminal and type the following one at a time.
sudo apt-get clean
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:ethereum/ethereum-qt
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:ethereum/ethereum
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install cpp-ethereum
After you do that, I suggest making a note file to keep your starting command. To connect to the pool, you want to use the command
ethminer -G -F http://ethereumpool.co/?miner=[HASHRATE IN MHASH]@[ADDRESS]@[OPTIONAL RIG NAME]
Where the hash rate is the speed, the address is your Jaxx address and your rig name. So for me it looks like this:
ethminer -G -F http://ethereumpool.co/?miner=19@0x516976cE81751eBe077Ca01C57B97c9665b0e10b@LLG
Notice, no brackets. Also the -G means GPU. Remember, the address is your Jaxx address that you get from in-app. the ETH, not ETC If you have any issues comment at me.
