BOINC for Unix/Linux is available as a self-extracting archive.
6
The download files have names like
8
boinc_5.2.13_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh
11
This type of installation
12
requires that you be familiar with the
13
UNIX command-line interface.
16
After downloading the file (say, into
17
<code>boinc_5.2.13_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh</code>), type
19
sh boinc_5.2.13_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh
21
This will create a directory BOINC/
22
with the following files:
25
<dd> The BOINC core client
27
<dd> The BOINC manager
30
<dd> A script that cd's into the BOINC directory and runs the core client.
33
<dd> A script that cd's into the BOINC directory and runs the manager.

38
<a href=client_unix.php>command-line options</a>.
41
<a href=auto_start.php>automatically start the core client</a>
