How to install folding@home client v8 on Fedora?

Post by Bud Specter »

Hi.

I'd like to install F@H client v8.3 on my Fedora 40 machine. For v7 I know there is an rpm package. Is there also one for v8? If not, is there some guide how to install F@H on an "unsupported" Linux distro like Fedora?

Thanks in advance!

You currently need to build your own.

Note that the instructions will create a bleeding edge build.
It is possible for the build to be broken.
