There are several ways to install BOINC on Linux:
| Type | Sandboxing | Run at boot? | Can run without Manager open? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard package | account-based | yes | no |
| Flatpack | container-based | no | yes |
| Snap | container-based | TBD | TBD |
| GNU Guix | None | TBD | TBD |
If you're already using a package manager like Flatpack, you can use it to install BOINC. If not, we recommend using the standard package manager of your Linux distro (apt, yum, or zypper).
