Step by step install of boinc on YDL

[KC9GPJ]

So, I got YDL 6.2 on my PS3 without any trouble, but I'm clueless when it comes to installing software onto linux.

I tried a bunch of different forums and walkthroughs, but each walkthrough was for a slightly different version of linux.

For starters, could I get a link of which client to download?

Thanks

What are you trying to install onto the PS3 ?

dnet? folding, boinc ?

it's a step by step for BOINC on YDL he's after - I can't help as I don't got a console let alone a PS/3..

ugh, I COMPLETLEY missed seeing that!

Too much debugging of code(work) all day !

ok, to install BOINC on linux.

1. put the package in a directory somewhere (let's say it's called boinc_6.10.13_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh)
2. In that directory, type the following
sh boinc_6.10.13_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh
3. This will create a directory called BOINC
4. cd BOINC
5. ./boinc --help to get commandline options for adding projects

It might be easier to use the manager from another PC though.

I can help with configuring remote access if you need it.

hmmm....ok

well, that makes sense. I just don't know enough cmds for linux and how the OS is organized. I guess I need to do some learning of my own.

Is that the 32 bit version of boinc (boinc_6.10.13_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh)? The PS3 is 64 bit, right? Also, is the PS3 even very efficient? I mean have any of the @homes optimized work for the PS3 Cell?

[Bok]

That is a 32bit boinc I gave as an example. Substitute for whichever one you want to install. I think PS3 uses 64bit client.

As for directory, just do it in the /home/<user> directory where <user> is whatever you have setup.

IIRC, I think only Yoyo@home has a PS3 client now for it's dnet subproject. GPUGRID did but they are deprecating I believe

It's definitely efficient at the dnet project though for sure..
