# Installation on archlinux | |
The project is communicating with Boinc, one could imagine that the installation of such a widespread software cannot be too hard, unfortunately the installation manual is spread across the website and the forum. | |
We are running the boinc software on a virtual machine inside the shackspace VM infrastructure. The geiger counter is attached via qemu/libvirt USB forwarding | |
Two things are to mention: | |
- the boinc software needs write-access to the geiger counter hidraw device, preferably via udev: http://radioactiveathome.org/boinc/forum_thread.php?id=478&nowrap=true#3167 | |
# mode 660 does not seem to be enough for some reason | |
UBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="1d6b", GROUP="boinc", MODE="0666",SYMLINK+="nukular-dev" | |
- the boinc geigercounter sofware requires 32bit libraries to run, multilib on archlinux is required for this: http://radioactiveathome.org/boinc/forum_thread.php?id=473&nowrap=true#3082 |
