Hi,
fist, a happy new Year to all. I Neid help downloading and running BOIN on an IBM Power 7+ with CENTOS 7.9.2009. When I use the command sudo yum install boinc-client boinc-manager I'll get the response Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * base: linux.darkpenguin.net * epel: mirror.infonline.de * extras: mirrors.coreix.net * updates: linux.darkpenguin.net No package boinc-client available. No package boinc-manager available. Any ideas, what I can do? Thanks for your support. Michael |

Boinc 7.16.11-3 is available in the epel repository. Although your list shows this as available it could be worth doing :-
sudo yum install -y epel-release before you start. If that doesn’t help take a look at :- https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL |

Are you running some sort of intel emulation on your Power 7+ system?
----------------------------------------If I read https://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/System_requirements correctly, I don't see any linux on Power 7+ support. If that is correct, it's no wonder that the packages don't exist.

There is a thread 'Power8 CPU architecture support' in the Hardware Chat Room. It is not encouraging.

H to all
thanks for you response. I found ppc64 rpms at http://suse.uni-leipzig.de/pub/fedoraproject.org/epel/ install them and BOINC is running fine...... BUT.... the projects didn't support the CPU ..... |

Correct, no WCG projects support this architecture.
