| 1) Message boards : Questions and problems : Trying to install 6.2.14 on OS X

All right, it seems you are downloading the command line package, while you need the Standard GUI package ... Thanks for pointing me to the right source; that download had an installer. FWIW, the reason I had the previous 6.2.14 download was the BOINC Manager message which directed me to http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download.php .That page had only one "Download BOINC" link. If there are multiple versions, please let me suggest that the download page display multiple links with an appropriate description for each. Again, thanks for the helpful information. |

I'm currently running 5.10.45, which gave me a message advising to upgrade to 6.2.14. I hit the link, downloaded the zip file, and expanded it, which created a folder named boinc_6.2.14_universal-apple-darwinThat folder contains three text docs, two shell scrips, and another folder named move_to_boinc_dirHowever, the installation instructions on your site say to run the installer. This leaves me stuck, as there's no installer in the 6.2.14 folder and I have found no "boinc_dir" resulting from the previous install. (It created an application named BOINCManager, but that's not conventionally referred to as a "dir" in OS X.) So, how do I accomplish this upgrade? |
