<p>Update: sudo apt-get install bfgminer failed several times, as the same for sudo apt-get install cgminer.
After trying numerous times it finally worked!
No more need to download it from this website, got it.

<p>months ago I found an entry on StackExchange or somewhere else on how to install the latest (!) bfgminer binaries directly from terminal. I can not find the stackexchange post, no matter how deep I search here / on Google.</p>
<p>I do not remember if it was a download directly from luke-jr's website via terminal or from somewhere else. I only remember that it was done via the terminal and it created an executeable shortcut in the /bin/ and/or /usr/bin/ folder.</p>
<p>Visiting the website from luke-jr triggers my anti virus software telling me the website is infected or hosts infected files. So I can't visit it directly sadly.</p>
<p>Months ago I tried it out on my old RPi and it worked just fine. But now that I had to switch to a newer RPi I can not find or remember the correct terminal command for installing bfgminer binaries directly.</p>
<p>More details about why I need the binaries:
Compiling prints out LOTS of errors for me.
Using 'sudo aptitude install bfgminer' needs &quot;aptitude&quot; installed, so I tried to install it and it returned lots of errors, most of the package files where not downloadable (my Internet connection is fine by the way).</p>
<p>Can you help me out with a terminal command that let's me successfully install bfgminer on raspbian?
On my old Pi I managed to install it without aptitude and without compiling it first.</p>
<p>Thanks so far!</p>
