Yes, like gaia that is doing similar work there is only a Linux app currently. https://spaciousathome.eu/spaciousathome/apps.php My understanding is that they do not have Windows expertise. Paul.

This goes somewhat against the philosophy of BOINC and further limits the power that could be allocated to this project. ID: 176 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

NB : On your own project page : SPACIOUS@home contributes to the SPACIOUS project by providing a volunteer computing platform based on BOINC, which allows any citizen with a laptop to contribute to solving cutting-edge astrophysical problems. Professional astronomers registered in the project will prepare small data fractions with computing jobs to be distributed among volunteers. In order to start helping astronomers disentangling the mysteries of the universe, you just need to register to SPACIOUS@home and share your computing idle time. +/- 75 % of these = Windows only +/- 4 % = Linux ID: 179 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

You can setup a VM or WSL and crunch the work units on a Windows machine. Its very technical to setup and requires making big changes to your computer, sometimes entering your BIOS If you are interested in going down that path then there are plenty of guides and forums available to teach you how ID: 249 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
