new using linux

Post by kdmiller45 »

I just found out about this site and have a linux workstation, however the site is VERY vague as to where to find the software client to install and if it was installed no indication that it was being installed nor where it is installed to, all I get is the start foldering, select the covid-19 and cancer and then see nothing to tell me it working, unlike the BOinc client that shows in the installed applications and give me a status of hours used

I clicked on the "The Software menu above and see the .exe file for windows but nothing for linux

Go to - https://foldingathome.org/start-folding/. If that does not autodetect your OS correctly, there is an Alternative Downloads link on the page.

We would need some more details in order to help you.
Which Distribution are you using and which version?
What is your basic hardware?
For a start.
