Running of Fedora

1. make a directory called boinc or anything else you want to name it.
>mkdir boinc
2. move the boinc_4.19_i686.... file to the boinc directory
>mv boinc_4.19_i686.... boinc
3. go to boinc directory
>cd boinc
4. make file executable
>chmod +x boinc_4.19_i686....
5. run the program
>./boinc_4.19_i686....

Hint: if you start to type the name of a file and hit tab, linux will fill in the rest if its unique.

The 4.19 version does not

The 4.19 version does not have a GUI but there is a developmental version on the download page that does have a GUI. Careful it may still have some bugs in it.
