Actually, [nmat](http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/a/1457/5406) explains what you have to do on the question I linked, and [hafnero](http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/a/22916/5406) updates for today's situation. There are no complete tutorials here, because ASICs usually work out of the box, and GPUs or CPUs don't cut it anymore. Today, it doesn't make sense for the average new user to start mining anymore: Bitcoin mining is not profitable unless you have very cheap electricity and very expensive hardware.
