Building the RPM package

Install the Prerequisites

Fedora/Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)

sudo dnf -y install git python3-scons gcc-c++ openssl-devel zlib-devel bzip2-devel lz4-devel systemd-devel rpm-build systemd-rpm-macros

Fedora 41+ also requires the openssl-devel-engine package.

On Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and clones, you need to first enable the EPEL repository.

openSUSE

sudo zypper -n in git scons gcc-c++ libopenssl-devel zlib-devel libbz2-devel liblz4-devel systemd-devel rpm-build systemd-rpm-macros

Get the code

git clone https://github.com/cauldrondevelopmentllc/cbang
git clone https://github.com/foldingathome/fah-client-bastet

Build a specific version (Optional)

To checkout the code for a specific version of the client run:

git -C cbang checkout bastet-v<version>
git -C fah-client-bastet checkout v<version>

Where <version> is a version number.

Run git -C fah-client-bastet tag to list available version numbers.

Build the Folding@home Client

export CBANG_HOME=$PWD/cbang
scons -C cbang
scons -C fah-client-bastet
scons -C fah-client-bastet package

(on RHEL 8 and clones, replace scons with scons-3)

Install the package

The last build step builds the RPM package. You can then install it like this:

Fedora/Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)

sudo dnf install ./fah-client-bastet/fah_client-<version>-1.x86_64.rpm

openSUSE

sudo zypper in ./fah-client-bastet/fah_client-<version>-1.x86_64.rpm

Where <version> is the software version number. On openSUSE, ignore ("i") when zypper complains the package is not signed.

Folding@home Client older than v8 will be automatically removed.
