You can join a BOINC project as follows:
|
|
<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> Country (optional)
|
|
<li> Postal Code (optional)
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<li> You will receive an email containing an <b>account key</b>
|
|
(a long random string).
|
|
|
|
<li> Download and install the BOINC client program.
|
|
It will ask for a project URL and an account key.
|
|
Enter the project's URL,
|
|
cut and paste the account key from the email.
|
|
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<p>
|
|
That's it!
|
|
You can go to the project web site to set your
|
|
<b>user preferences</b>.
|
|
|
|
<h3>Multiple hosts under one account</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
You can run BOINC on many hosts, all under one account.
|
|
Once you have created an account as above,
|
|
you can add new hosts in either of two ways:
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li> Download and install the BOINC client program on each host,
|
|
and cut and paste the project URL and account ID as above.
|
|
|
|
<li> If the new host is the same type as an existing host,
|
|
copy the contents of the BOINC installation directory
|
|
from an existing host to the new host.
|
|
|
|
</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.
