This type of installation requires that you be familiar with the
UNIX command-line interface.
<p>
After downloading the file:
<ul>
<li> Use gunzip to uncompress the file
if your browser has not done it for you.
<li> chmod +x the executable.
<li> put the executable into a separate directory (say, boinc/).
<li> run the executable.
The first time you run it you'll need to attach it to a project, e.g.:
<pre>
boinc_client -attach_project http://setiathome.berkeley.edu df0d93e384a2700f70e0bc45a1b2c96c
</pre>
</ul>
<p>
Instructions on running the core client (command-line options, etc.) are
<a href=client_unix.php>here</a>.
<p>
You'll probably want to arrange
to run the executable each time your machine boots or you log on.
Some examples follow.
