<h2>Source code road map</h2>
<p>
BOINC is distributed via CVS, tarballs compressed with gzip, and Windows
zip files.
<ul>
<li>
If installing from CVS, check out the entire CVS tree.
<li>
If installing on Windows, unzip boinc.zip or boinc.tar.gz,
and unzip win_build.zip inside the BOINC directory.
<li>
If installing on Mac OS X, unzip boinc.zip or boinc.tar.gz,
and unstuff mac_build.sit inside the BOINC directory.
</ul>
<p>
Unpacking the BOINC source code creates the following directories:
<dl>
<dt> RSAEuro/
<dd> A public-domain RSA implementation.
<dt> api/
<dd> The BOINC API (parts of which are compiled
into the core client).
<dt> apps/

<dd> Core client files particular to the Windows GUI version.

<dd> Core client files particular to the Mac GUI version.
<dt> db/

<dt> html_ops/

<dt> html_user/
<dd> PHP files for the participant web interface.
<dt> lib/

(core client, scheduling server, etc.).
<dt> sched/
<dd> The scheduling server, feeder, and file upload handler.
<dt> sched_fcgi/
