i just installed FAH and now i getting stuck at the FAHcontroll
how do i setup it?
and if possible can you may make a vid a vid helps me better then just text

Welcome o Forlding@Folding!

We don't know anything about your system, what OS are you using?

The Folding at Home forums don't host images or videos.
Have you tried searching youtube?

We can help but we're limited to text.

While not video, there are installation guides that include images of FAHControl screens in the Configuration Guide section of the FAQs - https://foldingathome.org/support/faq/i ... de/?lng=en. Some details of the images will be different from the current version, the guide was put together a few years ago with images from that version. Ask here if something doesn't match up with what is current.

You have not replied to the request for letting us know the OS you are using, nor any additional info. Without that there is little anyone can do to assist since there are differences between the steps required for different OSes.

If the only way you are able to follow steps is with a video them you may need to search on youtube as suggested. Even that may be problematic since the video may be on a different OS than you have, and may have a different GPU than yours.

If you give the requested info and provide in detail the steps you have already done then we can assist.

i using a rpi 3b
and yes i did searched on youtube but there arnt videos for raspberian os

Bad news.
The ARM client and the folding cores are all 64-bit applications, they won't run on 32-bit Raspbian OS.
Last time I checked the developers were working on a 64-bit version of Raspbian OS but it was not yet stable.

About 6 months ago I did some testing with Raspberry Pi 3Bs.
I used an ARM64 distro of ubuntu server and installed the ARM64 FAHClient.
Server operating systems are easier on the hardware because they don't need to worry about desktop performance.
It needs to be the ARM64 client because the PI is powered by an 64-bit ARM chip and the folding cores are all 64-bit.
It was a short-lived project because once I started folding I found the PIs were just too underpowered.
It's also possible that I just misconfigured my setup and it just didn't work as they didn't seem to pull the amount of power I expected them to.

There's not that many people folding on raspberry PIs. I think that those who do are using PI 4s as that's the one that seems to have the necessary performance.

And a RPi 3 is generally too slow to meet the deadlines. RPi 4 running 24/7 is the minimum (but it might sill miss some deadlines on misconfigured projects).

I think the best choice to fold on ARM is the Odroid N2+, like this one : https://www.hardkernel.com/shop/odroid- ... yte-ram-2/
