Folding Forum

Can any one tell me how to install the Folding application on Mint 17 Cinnamon please. What would I search for threw the repository using the start menu and the Software option.

If their is a Fully pledged package for Mint, is it an installation package or is it a simply an installation DLL series of file, or mabie a Command text interface?

Thanks for your help in advance.

I run Mint 17.1 on all my machines. It's very easy. 99% of the instructions for Ubuntu also work for all Ubuntu derivates such as Mint, so you can always Google "install X in ubuntu" and find solid instructions for Mint. To a lesser degree but still mostly true, instructions for Debian also carry over.

You're not going to F@h software in the Software Manager, since it's not entirely open-source and we don't have a PPA for it either. There are no DLLs either, that's a Windows term, but what we do have are binaries. The software has a GUI version and a command-line version, but most people use the GUI version. As always, your choice, but I would recommend the GUI unless you want expert-level control.

FAHControl: https://fah.stanford.edu/file-releases/ ... -1_all.deb
FAHViewer: https://fah.stanford.edu/file-releases/ ... _amd64.deb

Download and install these three .deb files in turn. Then use FAHControl to control the folding. You can find that in the Menu after installation.

The Linux Install Guide on the fah web site is helpful.
