Please consider downloading the latest version of folding instead.
After some continued testing and expanding I think my Folding @ Home Automated Installer is ready for initial release (release early, release often, right?). I would appreciate any testing, bug reports, expanding the tested / supported distribution list, etc.
Currently, as of v0.1 it has been tested on the following distributions:
Ubuntu 7.04RedHat Enterprise Linux 5
Oracle Enterprise Linux 4
SuSE Enterprise Linux Server 10
SuSE Linux 10.1
Fedora Core 6
Fedora 7
You can find a link to the download below. It comes in three compressed formats for your convenience. Enjoy!
Thanks! This worked pretty well on Kubuntu 7.04. The machine is a dual processor box, however, and FAH didn’t start on the second CPU because it needed a distinct machine ID in its client.cfg (under foldingathome/CPU2). Once corrected and the service restarted it is running on both processors.
kalahari875 – it *should* notice your second processor. There is specifically a line in the script to copy the client.cfg and update for each machine ID.
If you think it is a bug could you send me the FAH-installer.log in your /tmp/ folder? Use my contact link for details.
Cool! This is the perfect pick for a project.
thanks-
It worked quite well, thanks for the script.
I had the following problems:
Would you like to run the installer *only* on this local machine? (y/n) y
./FAH-deploy.sh: line 69: y=y: command not found
(The error didn’t matter, it continued)
When trying to deploy on a network, I don’t know what input to give the script…
Please enter the first and last IP addresses of the machines to be deployed: 192.168.0.1 192.168.0.1
seq: invalid floating point argument: 192.168.0.1
Try `seq –help’ for more information.
seq: invalid floating point argument: 192.168.0.1
Try `seq –help’ for more information.
seq: invalid floating point argument: 192.168.0.1
Try `seq –help’ for more information.
Maybe you could fix that, or tell me what I’m doing wrong? 😀
Anyway, thanks for the good work.
Sebastien – I’ll look at the first bug you mentioned. Thank you for pointing it out.
As far as the second part it just wants the last digit of the IP range. ie; to install to machines 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.20 you’d simply enter ‘1 20’.
I’ll make a few revisions based on your feedback. Thank you.
Would you like to deploy the Folding @ Home automated install across a network?

Only thing I’ve changed was the username in the config file. Running Ubuntu 7.04.
