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>
|
|
Mac OS X - specific instructions are
|
|
<a href=http://boinc-doc.net/site-boinc/oman-app/inst-mac.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.

<h2>Automatic startup on Unix</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Users have contributed scripts for automatic
|
|
startup of BOINC on various versions of Unix:
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<a href=http://noether.vassar.edu/~myers/help/boinc/unix.html>Red Hat Linux</a>.
|
|
(includes general instructions for installing on Unix systems).
|
|
<li>
|
|
<a href=autostart_unix.txt>Linux with KDE</a>.
|
|
<li>
|
|
<a href=autostart_dennett.txt>Red Hat 9, should also work on Solaris</a>
|
|
</ul>
|
|

<h2>Automatic startup on Mac OS X</h2>

[ The following is from Berki Yenigun, deadsmile at minitel.net ]

|
Here's a step by step guide to create a command file for Mac OS X
|
|
Panther that will automatically launch Boinc command line client each
|
|
time you log into your account:
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li> Open TextEdit, paste and adapt the following two lines (adapt the
|
|
path after the cd command to the folder in which you saved Boinc, and
|
|
the name of Boinc file in the second line to the version you downloaded):
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
cd myapplications/boinc
|
|
./boinc_4.19_powerpc-apple-darwin
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<li> Convert this into plain text format by clicking on Format and then on
|
|
Make Plain Text (rich text doesn't fit our needs), and save it
|
|
with .command extension (replace the .txt) : Let's call our file
|
|
boincscript, the file name & extension should be boincscript.command.
|
|
Once your file is saved, you can quit TextEdit.
|
|
|
|
<li> Now open Terminal, using cd command go to the folder where you saved
|
|
the script file, then type
|
|
chmod +x boincscript.command
|
|
to make it executable. (use help if necessary : type man or man man.)
|
|
After that, you can quit Terminal.
|
|
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
It's almost done : all you need to do now is to add boincscript.command
|
|
|
|
file to the login items in the 'Accounts' pane in 'System Preferences'.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
If you want to start Boinc manually again, you simply have to remove
|
|
boincscript.command from the login items.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
PS: You can use the
|
|
<a href=client_unix.php>core client command-line options</a> in your script.
|
|
An example:
|
|
<pre>
|
|
./boinc_4.19_powerpc-apple-darwin -return_results_immediately
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
|
|
