   Thanks for pointing out the typo! I will fix that.

   There are more detailed instructions for the script on the bottom of this page. Click on "Linux Instructions" under "World Community Grid". The instructions are for World Community Grid, but it also explains how to use the script with any project that uses BOINC.

   Does it work on Centos 7?

   No, it currently only works on Linux distributions that use the apt package manager. Centos 7 uses yum. The script is really designed for installing on a headless computer or server. If this is the case, then you can replace these two lines:

   Distributed-Computing-Scripts/bonic.sh

   Lines 36 to 37 in b0cb86f

   	sudo apt-get update -y
   	sudo apt-get install boinc -y

   
   with:

   sudo yum -y update
   sudo yum -y install boinc-client boinc-manager

   and it should work, although I do not have a Centos 7 system to test it on.

   What URL should I provide for Seti@Home? This: https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/ ?

   Yes.

   Thank you for the additional information.
   The boinc-client and boinc-manager are available in the epel repo.
   So I think it will work with changing the script as you suggested to:
   sudo yum -y update
   sudo yum -y install boinc-client boinc-manager

   Thanks and regards Wim.
