The various parts of BOINC have dependencies on other software;
most or all of these may already be present on your system.
You'll need to download and install the ones you don't have.
The list depends on the system you're on,
and the parts of BOINC that you need.
<b>If you're creating a BOINC project,
you don't need to build the Core client or BOINC Manager.</b>
