Computer Tips - Curses GUI for BOINC

Date: 2018sep22 Keywords: tui, terminal, command line OS: Linux Distro: Fedora Q. Curses GUI for BOINC A. Yes, there is boinctui ! Its home page https://code.google.com/archive/p/boinctui/ I downloaded the Fedora rpm from here https://code.google.com/archive/p/boinctui/downloads Its labelled Fedora 15 to 19 but it worked for me on Fedora 28. Looks like it hasn't been updated since 2013. Maybe because its perfect ;) Once downloaded, I installed it as root with
rpm -Uvh boinctui-2.2.1-0.fc19.x86_64.rpm
I then logged in as my BOINC user and did
export TERM=linux boinctui
Using it is pretty self-explanatory. I love this project.
