chmod ugo+x boinc.sh && ./boinc.sh # Will print 'use /opt/BOINC/run_manager to start BOINC' | |
cd BOINC | |
# Symlink the boinccmd tool to /usr/local/bin to make it available in PATH: | |
ln -sf /opt/BOINC/boinccmd /usr/local/bin/boinccmd | |
# Add to Systemd as a service: | |

# echo "Account key: $ACCOUNT_KEY" | |
# Attach the project to boinc suing the $ACCOUNT_KEY: | |
`cd /opt/BOINC && boinccmd --project_attach "http://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta" "<ACCOUNT_KEY>"` | |
# View the BOINC logs in syslog: | |
