Miners interact with BASE over signed HTTP, so the install footprint is small: the subnet package (for tooling and the wallet integration) and a Bittensor wallet. There is no separate miner daemon to run (src/platform_network/cli_app/main.py:57-71).

​
Install the subnet package

The canonical install uses uv. From the base repository root (README.md:212): 
uv sync --extra dev --extra master
This installs the package and pulls in the Bittensor dependency declared by the master extra (pyproject.toml:39). The Bittensor library is what provides wallet creation, hotkey signing, and on-chain registration.
The bittensor extra (pyproject.toml:28) is what carries the substrate keypair support used to verify your signatures (src/platform_network/security/miner_auth.py:114-121). Installing it locally gives you the same bittensor library the subnet uses to verify uploads.

​
Verify the install

The installed console script is named platform (pyproject.toml:43). Confirm the CLI loads and inspect the registry to confirm you can reach the subnet: 
platform --help
curl -sf "$PROXY_URL/v1/registry"
platform --help lists the available command groups (src/platform_network/cli_app/main.py:57-71). /v1/registry is the public registry read served by the proxy (README.md:425).
$PROXY_URL is the public proxy URL. It defaults to https://chain.platform.network (src/platform_network/config/settings.py:21, config/master.example.yaml:11). On a local single-node bring-up the proxy is published on host port 18080 (README.md:262).

​
What you do not install

You do not install or run a miner service. The CLI’s runnable components are operator and validator roles: master proxy, master broker, master supervisor, master weights, and validator run (src/platform_network/cli_app/main.py:525-571, src/platform_network/cli_app/main.py:574-632, src/platform_network/cli_app/main.py:784-854). Your work as a miner is built locally and submitted through the proxy.
