Installation
Fetch the latest version from folding.stanford.edu and install:
sudo tar -C /opt/ -xjf latest.tar.bz2
sudo ln -s $(basename /opt/fahclient*) /opt/fah
sudo chown -R games:games /opt/fah/
Some older clients may be linked against /usr/lib/mesa/libGL.so.1, so it will be necessary to install libgl1-mesa-glx. Current clients are linked against the following libraries:
$ ldd /opt/fah/FAHClient
linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffd8c5f2000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdl.so.2 (0x00007f96e4f1b000)
libz.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libz.so.1 (0x00007f96e4d00000)

Add a startup line to /etc/rc.local resp. /etc/rc.d/rc.local:
/usr/local/bin/fah.sh start # TBD!
Configuration
sudo chmod a+rx /proc/bus # May be needed so that /proc/bus/pci/devices can be read cd /opt/fah && sudo -u games /bin/bash
$ ./FAHClient --configure User name [Anonymous]: myusername Team number [0]: Passkey: Enable SMP [true]: true Enable GPU [true]: true Name of configuration file [config.xml]: $ cat config.xml <config> <user value='myusername'/> <team value='0'/> <passkey value=/> <smp value='true'/> <gpu value='true'/> </config>
You may want to add the following to config.xml[1]:
<cpus value='8'/> <nice value='20'/> <cpu-usage value='10'/> <core-priority value='idle'/> <pause-on-battery v='true'/>
