The Shroomery Rosetta@home Team <<<------ JOIN US FOR A GOOD CAUSE!

The Rosetta Project

Rosetta@home needs your help to determine the 3-dimensional shapes of proteins in research that may ultimately lead to finding cures for some major human diseases. By running the Rosetta program on your computer while you don't need it you will help us speed up and extend our research in ways we couldn't possibly attempt without your help. You will also be helping our efforts at designing new proteins to fight diseases such as HIV, Malaria, Cancer, and Alzheimer's (See our Disease Related Research for more information). Please join us in our efforts!


To get started with the Rosetta project, follow these easy steps:



1. Download the BOINC client here.(rightclicksaveas)
2. Before launching the installer, go here to create an account. You will have to check your email to verify your account and in your email, there will be a URL of the project. Do not delete the email.
3. Once you get the confirmation email, go to the Rosetta@Home login page and login using the email address you supplied and password you created.
4. Once logged in, it will take you to the 'Your Account' page. Scroll down to the preferences section and click on View of Edit General Preferences.
5. Now you should be on the page called 'General Preferences'. Scroll down and click on 'Edit Preferences'. Once in general preferences, you NEED to change the field that says 'Use No More Than.......Gbytes'. I recommend setting to 1GB. If you do not, the default is 100GB and it will not run unless you have 100GB free. Once you change that, click on 'Update Preferences' at the bottom of that screen.
6. There are other preferences you can change, but I don't care about those, the one I mentioned is the main one you need to change to get up and running.
7. Next step after changing your prefs, is to join the SPF team. Go here, and click on 'Join', next to Join This Team. Whew, almost there.
8. Install the client, accepting all the default setting, yes to the EULA, when it gets done, click finish, should launch the BOINC client. If not, find the exe and run it.
9. When you run the client for the first time it will ask you for the project URL. The project URL is the one that was in your email. It is:



http://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta
10. When asked if you need to create an account or use an existing account, click use existing and fill in your email address and password, click next/finish and it should launch.
11. When it first launches, be patient! It may take some time to fetch new work and start doing shit.








12. To see what the BOINC manager software is doing, click on the Messages tab and that displays an ongoing log of what it is exactly doing.
13. Depending on how you use your computer, or if the machine you are running this on is dedicated to this, click on Commands, and select Run Always and Network Activity Always Available.
Have fun, post questions. I or others will be able to answer them.

Best of luck to everyone and God bless.
