Running the client manually
Get the client from http://folding.stanford.edu/download.html, save it to some directory (you will want to make one specifically for F@H, because it makes a bunch of files), and run it. The trouble is, you need to start it by hand. It is far more convenient and correct to make it start at boot-time, because you shouldn't have to think about it. Say you put it in `$HOME/foldingathome`. Then to start it, you will want to use
cd $HOME/foldingathome (exec fah5 >& /dev/null &)
You must run the client from its directory, since it always looks for files in the current directory (and creates them if they don't exist). The parentheses fork a new shell, the exec replaces the new shell process with the client (not strictly necessary), the redirect supresses output, and the ampersand puts the process into the background. This all means you can safely close the terminal after starting the client this way.
