An Overview of BOINC
Installing the BOINC client software
Download and Install
Installation of the BOINC client software on your computer is very easy. All you need to do is visit
http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download.php
You'll be given a link to the latest version of the software for your computer's operating system (Windows, Mac, or Linux). Simply download that file and launch it (double-click on the file) and an installer "wizard" will take you through the few simple steps needed to get you going.
System Requirements
BOINC can be run on just about any newer computer. Detailed system requirements may be found at http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/SystemRequirements
