    37For some platforms, you can download the BOINC 'core client' by itself. The download files have names like:
    48
    59{{{
    610boinc_5.2.13_powerpc-apple-darwin.zip
    7 boinc_4.19_sparc-sun-solaris2.7.gz
     11boinc_4.19_sparc-sun-solaris2.7
    812}}}
    913
     
    1216After downloading the file:
    1317
    14     * Use gunzip to uncompress the file if your browser has not done it for you.
    1518    * chmod +x the executable.
    16     * put the executable into a separate directory (say, boinc/).
    17     * run the executable. The first time you run it you'll need to attach it to a project, e.g.:
     19    * Put the executable into a separate directory (say, boinc/).
     20    * Run the executable.
     21{{{
     22boinc_client --daemon
     23}}}
     24    (substitute the actual name of the core client for '''boinc_client''' in the above example.)
     25    * Get your account key.
     26      * If you don't have an account on the project yet, you can create it from `boinc_cmd`:
     27{{{
     28boinc_cmd --create_account http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/ john@example.com password1234 "John Doe"
     29}}}
     30      Alternatively, create the account on the project website.
     31      * If you already have an account, use your existing email and password:
     32{{{
     33boinc_cmd --lookup_account http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/ john@example.com password1234
     34}}}
     35    * Use the account key (printed by boinc_cmd in the previous step) to attach:
     36{{{
     37boinc_cmd --project_attach http://setiathome.berkeley.edu df0d93e384a2700f70e0bc45a1b2c96c
