Building from Source

This document explains how to build the Folding@home Work Server software. The WS comes with a script which automates this process.

Install packages

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y scons git build-essential libssl-dev python3

Get the source

git clone https://github.com/FoldingAtHome/fah-work.git

Build it

cd fah-work
./scripts/build

If all goes well, this will build cbang, libfah and fah-work producing a Debian package.

The script automatically pulls in the latest code from github so you can build the latest software simply by running scripts/build again.
