Right, thanks for opening the issue. With client version 8, the download file structure changed. But version 8 changed a lot of other things, so me or someone needs to find time to rework it.

If you need a quick solution, it is possible to adjust the download URL to install the older version 7, which works with other parts of our setup.

Otherwise the .deb packages for version 8 can be downloaded here: https://foldingathome.org/start-folding/ It however requires to register a new account at their side, as far as I checked so far.

Won't open a new issue for this cause it's already open, but I'll throw in what WOULD have gone in the ticket in case it's any use. I'll adjust for the V7 install for the time being as you've suggested.

Device: Intel NUC 7th gen i5 DietPi version: 9.7.1 Reference: 3c0efa2f-921a-4acf-8eba-5a1a7f4aed9a Issue: Install of Folding At Home via dietpi-software fails with exit code 22.

Cause: https://download.foldingathome.org/releases/public/release/fahclient/debian-stable-64bit/ is not a valid URL

Suspect fix: Update URL to https://download.foldingathome.org/releases/public/fah-client/debian-stable-arm64/release/ or https://download.foldingathome.org/releases/public/fah-client/debian-10-64bit/release/

Further issue: trying to change command during the failed install to 'https://download.foldingathome.org/releases/public/fah-client/debian-10-64bit/release/' URL results in the error 'invalid user fahclient'
