To join a BOINC project:
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li> Visit the project's web site and create an <b>account</b>.
|
|
This involves filling out a form with
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li> An email address.
|
|
<li> A public 'screen name' (real name or nickname).
|
|
<li> other optional information
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<li> You will receive an email containing an <b>account ID</b>
|
|
(a long random string).
|
|
|
|
<li> Download, install and run the BOINC client program.
|
|
It will ask for a project URL and an account ID.
|
|
Enter the project's URL,
|
|
cut and paste the account ID from the email.
|
|
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<p>
|
|
That's it!
|
|
You can go to the project's web site to set your
|
|
<b>user preferences</b>.
|
|
|
|
<h3>Multiple computers under one account</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
You can run BOINC on many computers, all under one account.
|
|
Once you have created an account as above,
|
|
you can add new computers in either of two ways:
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li> Download and install the BOINC client program on each computer,
|
|
and cut and paste the project URL and account ID as above.
|
|
|
|
<li> If the new computer is the same type as an existing computer,
|
|
create a BOINC directory on the new computer,
|
|
and copy the core client executable and all 'account_*' files
|
|
from the existing computer to the new computer.
|
|
Do not copy 'client_state.xml'.
|
|
NOTE: this does not work on Windows,
|
|
because it does not copy registry entries and other information.
|
|
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
The BOINC client resides in a <b>BOINC home directory</b>.
|
|
If hosts share a network file system,
|
|
each host must have its own BOINC home directory.
