If you want to use GPU, you should set useGPU to true in  config.json, and also you should check your  system has libOpenCL library,  you can install it by this command
sudo apt install ocl-icd-opencl-dev
Stake 1000 BRY
Then please confirm that your account have 1000 BRY and some BNB for mining fee.

./BerryMiner balance
Its output should  as follow
0xe010aC6e0248790e08F42d5F697160DEDf97E024
      0.91 ETH
   1034.73 BRY

./BerryMiner stake deposit
You can use this command to check your stake status
./BerryMiner stake status
Its output should as follow
Staked in good standing since 2021-03-09 00:00:00 +0000 UTC
Start Mining
You can use this command to start mining
nohup ./BerryMiner mine &

Template Config file:
{
    "contractAddress": "0xf859Bf77cBe8699013d6Dbc7C2b926Aaf307F830",
    "nodeURL": "https://bsc-dataseed1.binance.org",
    "publicAddress": "your_account_address_no_prefix_0x",
    "privateKey": "your_account_private_key_no_prefix_0x",
    "serverHost": "localhost",
    "serverPort": 5001,
    "ethClientTimeout": 3000,
    "trackerCycle": 10,
    "requestData":0,
    "gasMultiplier": 1,
    "gasMax":30,
    "useGPU":false,
    "trackers": [
        "balance",
        "disputeStatus",
        "gas",
        "tributeBalance",
        "indexers"
    ],
    "dbFile": "berryDB"
}
Config file options:
contractAddress (required) - address of Berry Contract
nodeURL (required) - When you connect to BSC Node.
publicAddress (required) - public address for your miner (note, no 0x)
privateKey - private key for miner node to sign transaction, without prefix 0x
ethClientTimeout (required) - timeout for making requests from your node
trackerCycle (required) - how often your database updates (in seconds)
trackers (required) - which pieces of the database you update
dbFile (required) - where you want to store your local database (if self-hosting)
serverHost (required) - location to host server
serverWhitelist (required) - whitelists which publicAddress can access the data server
fetchTimeout - timeout for requesting data from an API
requestData - sets wether your miner request data if the challenge is 0.  If yes, then you will addTip() to this number.  Enter a uint number representing request id to be requested
requestDataInterval - min frequency at which to request data at (in seconds, default 30)
gasMultiplier - Multiplies the submitted gasPrice
gasMax - a max for the gas price in gwei (note: this max comes BEFORE the gas multiplier.  So a max gas cost of 10 gwei, can have gas prices up to 20 if gasMultiplier is 2)
heartbeat - an integer that controls how frequently the miner process should report the hashrate (larger is less frequent, try 1000000 to start)
numProcessors - an integer number of CPU cores/threads to use for mining. (cpu mining is disabled if there is a suitable GPU is found
disputeTimeDelta - how far back to store values for min/max range - default 5 (in minutes)
disputeThreshold - percentage of acceptable range outside min/max for dispute checking - default
​
LogConfig file options
The logging.config file consists of two fields: * component * level
The component is the package.component combination.
E.G. the Runner component in the tracker package would be: tracker.Runner
To turn on logging, add the component and the according level. Note the default level is "INFO", so to turn down the number of logs, enter "WARN" or "ERROR"
DEBUG - logs everything in INFO and additional developer logs
INFO - logs most information about the mining operation
WARN - logs all warnings and errors
ERROR - logs only serious errors
