FOLDING@HOME/SMP OSX INSTALLER BETA RELEASE NOTES
TO INSTALL
Before you install Folding@home:
- If you are running a Folding@home client already, stop it, you will continue where you left off.
- If you are using a script or software to auto-start a Folding@home client you MUST disable/stop it before installation.
- Make sure you are logged in as the user you want to run Folding@home as.
After Installation:
- After installation, you must open your System Preferences, and set the Folding@home preferences and start the client running.
- OR if you wish to use the console client, just run (or set your scripts to run): /Applications/Folding@home.app/fah6 -smp You may also want the "-local" flag.
Notes:
DO NOT RUN 2 CLIENTS! Your work units will not finish in time.
Once started, the client will run whenever your machine is on, but can be stopped at any time by visiting the System Preferences. Any administrator can start or stop the client.
No, the Viewer is not done.
For previous folders, flags like -advmethods are no longer needed, as all of them have been hardcoded in.
The 6.02 and 6.20 Release versions have no expiration date.
TO UNINSTALL
To completely uninstall, you want to delete these 4 things...
- /Applications/Folding@home.app/
- /Library/LaunchDaemons/Folding@home.plist
- /Library/PreferencePanes/Folding@home.prefPane/
- ~/Library/Folding@home/
All are easy to get to with Finder. Removing the last one has the expected permanent loss of config and WU's.
