Your account should now be added and be getting ready to load some tasks.ĥ.
Lastly, run the following line to attach your BOINC program to your account. It should now print out the following lines. I will go through the command line version first, to begin you will need to query the SETI at home website for an account key. Once done the project should be loaded onto the Pi and will soon start carrying out processing tasks. It will now connect, and then you will need to either create a new account or log in to an existing one.Ħ. On the project page scroll down to and select it. In this window, select either “ add project” or if you have an account with either BAM! or Grid Republic then you can select “ use account manager“.Ĥ. On the first load, the “add project or project manager” screen should be displayed.ģ. If you have the Raspbian GUI (Graphical User Interface) open, then you can simply go up to Menu->System Tools->Boinc ManagerĢ. It’s straightforward to use for beginner users and is loaded with features for the more advanced user.ġ. Using the GUI is probably the preferable way when it comes to adding projects to your Pi. There are two ways we’re able to do this with the first being via the BOINC manager and the second via the command line. Next, we’re going to set up SETI as the project we wish to process and contribute to.
The manager will allow you to see all your projects, tasks and any statistics about them.
#BOINC LINUX INSTALL#
Installing BOINC will also install the BOINC manager which is incredibly handy. GUI sudo apt install boinc Command line (Headless) sudo apt install boinc-clientģ.
#BOINC LINUX FULL#
Now install the BOINC package by running one of the following commands, if you want to use the easy interface go for the full GUI package, otherwise, if you intend on running BOINC headless then install just the boinc-client. Firstly, make sure everything is up to date by running the following commands: sudo apt updateĢ.
#BOINC LINUX HOW TO#
I am using just basic Raspbian in this tutorial if you need to install it then be sure to check out my tutorial on how to install Raspbian.ġ. Installing BOINC is a pretty straightforward process, and you shouldn’t run into any problems. This video will walk you through the process of setting up and configuring BOINC on your Raspberry Pi, if you prefer a written tutorial you can follow our guide below.Īdblock blocking the video?

Equipmentīelow is the equipment that I have used in setting up the Raspberry Pi BOINC. This page also has information on what areas a project covers (astrophysics, physics, biochemistry) and any sponsors it may have.
You can find the full list of projects you can join and their supported platforms over at the BOINC project page. for example, was only recently officially released for the Pi. There are other projects that you can try, but some may not be available for the Raspberry Pi. If you’re familiar with the BOINC program, then you will probably already know that is the most popular project that you’re able to sign up to. Once processed, it sends it back to the main server. It simply downloads and analyzes radio telescope data. For those who don’t know, is a program that will enable you to help in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. In this particular tutorial, I will be installing the SETI at home project. At the time of this tutorial, BOINC (Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing) has over 400 thousand volunteers and almost a million computers processing data for a range of different projects.
