Here are the basic command-line instructions to install and run the V7 Folding@home software.
Open the Terminal / Console application. Depending on the Linux distribution (Ubuntu, Fedora, etc.), OS version, and desktop engine (KDE, GNOME, Unity, etc.) the Terminal / Console application may be found in a variety of locations. It is typically located under Accessories or System Tools. This is not for Linux running in Terminal mode (no GUI).
Type each command exactly as it appears, or cut and paste directly from this guide.
Note: The installation commands shown include options to continue even when exact dependencies are not met. The V7 software is rather generic and works with most, if not all, version of the various libraries.
