I need a simple way to install on Ubuntu. I'm not linux savy but I can copy and paste into the terminal but it's not working. I would be able to run more instances if I could put it on Ubuntu machines.
Thanks.
Ubuntu

Re: Ubuntu
Hi there 12th_Man, welcome to the F@h support forum!
Did you see these pages?
http://folding.stanford.edu/English/LinUNIGuide
http://folding.stanford.edu/English/LinSMPGuide
I don't know exactly what client you are trying to install, but those pages are a good place to start. I've only installed on Ubuntu once, but I know that if you Google "how to install Folding@home on ubuntu" you'll find some additional guides as well.
EDIT: I was just informed by Leonardo that this is one of the best Linux guides out there: http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1601608 Good luck
EDIT2: Ok, so some people like that guide, and some people don't. It's entirely your choice which one you want to use, they should all do the same thing in the end.

F@h is now the top computing platform on the planet and nothing unites people like a dedicated fight against a common enemy. This virus affects all of us. Lets end it together.

Re: Ubuntu
Welcome 12th_man.
I have to say that that guide over at [H] is extremely simple to use, like you I am a windows person but that guide is simple to use and i now have 2 machines running ubuntu, each machine takes about an hour to get set up and folding, then just leave it humming away in the corner.
The only thing I do differently is burn ubuntu onto a CD for the install

Re: Ubuntu
It only takes about 6 steps to install and run. The official fah guide covers that without all the extra junk (samba?) and overt team recruitment that other guide contains.

Re: Ubuntu
Hi 12th_Man,
It would help a lot to know what version of Ubuntu you are running and where in the guides that Jesse_V linked, that you are having issues? Maybe even error messages that you get?
