Just downloaded F@H, where can I get the protein viewer?

Post by StealthReborn »

So I installed the software and when I run the program, it opens up a tab on my browser showing what I can contribute too, how much power my computer can contribute, etc. I don't see anywhere where I can use a protein viewer though. I'd simply like to keep it on my second monitor while it works it's magic.

Thanks for the help.

For Windows and macOS installs, FAHViewer is part of the package and is installed by default. There is a button in the Advanced Control aka FAHControl to activate FAHVIewer. Or it can be run from the program folder where the F@h client files are installed.

For Linux there are three separate packages to download - FAHClient, FAHControl and FAHViewer. Each installs separately.

It depends on your OS.

For WIndows and MacOS, everything is installed in one package, including FAHViewer.
For Linux and ARM, they're separate downloads.

Ah ok I wasn't aware that they were in the installed folder. Thank you.
