OSX Installation Instructions (Console)
The preferred means for OSX installation is the installer (above) . Here are detailed instructions to setup the SMP client console version if you choose to run this one instead.
- Go to Terminal: In the Finder ribbon, select Go-> Utilities. Open Terminal. In the Terminal window you should see a prompt that looks something like this: yourcomputername:~ yourusername$
- To get the SMP FAH client going type in following commands:
mkdir ~/Library/Folding@home cd ~/Library/Folding@home curl -O http://www.stanford.edu/group/pandegroup/folding/release/FAH6.00beta1-OSX-Intel-Console.tgz tar xzf FAH6.00beta1-OSX-Intel-Console.tgz
- Now you should have the SMP FAH client in place and you'll have to configure it. It can be done by running following command: ./fah6 -smp -local -configonly
- After setting the configuration there are couple of ways to start the SMP FAH client. One way is to start it is by typing in each time the following command: ./fah6 -smp -local -verbosity 9
- OPTIONAL: To make it a little easier for yourself, one can make a little script by running following commands:
echo "./fah6 -smp -local -verbosity 9" > FaH chmod +x FaH
Now you'll just have to run
./FaH
and all those additional FAH client flags will get added by itself.
Note: All those listed commands MUST be typed/pasted from this little HOWTO to the terminal (window) of your machine.
Example (OSX):
