Folding@Home
By offering the opportunity to allow our PC's to give unused CPU/GPU time for science.
This page explains better than i can. http://folding.stanford.edu/support/faq/project-details/
Hopefully many,each extra PC adds to the cause.
client = engine, - console = GUI, - viewer = simulator

I don't know if every component will make it into the repo due to the mixed open/close sourcing (client is closed source iirc), but packaging/installing from the provided Debian packages was fairly straighforward, you can build and install them yourself with the following packaging configs:

Thank you for this work. This is my first build and result = error

Seems like you didn't set $client, also as far as I know eopkg build should have a pspec.xml file as argument, not a package
EDIT: Just replace ${client} with client and make sure eopkg build is using an XML file
Still get error - /fah*.eopkg not found.
the XML file is in the extracted files. /home
do I need some build tools installed.
Not really sure what you're doing, you need to make a package following our packaging documentation, which is on our Help Center, and proceed to install the eopkg it'd generate.
Closing this task as invalid. No source was provided (deb files are not valid), please update your package request in accordance with https://solus-project.com/articles/packaging/request-a-package/en in the event you find the client source and refrain from using this task as a support medium for packaging, that is what our development IRC channel is for.
@Craig-toyoracer sorry, i didn't make the instructions in the gist as clear as they could've been. I made a separate repo for it: https://github.com/yacn/folding-at-home-eopkgs/releases/tag/7.5.1 -- you can download the eopkgs to install directly from there or build them yourself with the config files in the repo with the install script.
