Folding Configuration and Utilities
- If you're using the my recommended [H] Folding Appliance it covered in steps #17 - #22
- In the terminal window, type: 'sudo fahinstall' (remove quotes) and press Enter.
This script will set up everything you need to run Folding@Home on a ramdisk, including various OS tweaks, disabling automatic updates, thekraken wrapper, backup/restore scripts, and samba file sharing for remote access. The client will starts to allow you to configure F@H. You only need to set your user name, team, and passkey. The appropriate run parameters (-smp, -bigadv) will be set for you in the config file based on your machine configuration.
Here a list of FAH commands I've found helpful:
