The thread you linked to is nearly 4 years old, and not at all applicable to using hashcat in 2017. There is only one hashcat now, and it supports everything that hashcat-cli, oclHashcat, oclHashcat-plus, and oclHashcat-lite supported. All you need is an OpenCL runtime for each device you want to use (CPU, GPU, etc.) You can tell hashcat which device(s) and platform(s) you want to use via the -d and -D switches. It's that simple.
