Folding@Home ovftool deployment script
--------------------------------------
## Introduction
The script is used for deploying the folding@home image supplied by [VMWare](https://flings.vmware.com/vmware-appliance-for-folding-home) on VMWare ESXi (free).
The script is based on the one from [VMWare's GitHub](https://github.com/lamw/vmware-fah-automation).
## Usage
1. In order to use it, you need to have `ovftool` installed.
2. Then, you need to create an `fah.conf` file with the parameters shown in `example.conf`
3. The script will automatically download the ova if not present in the current directory and will deploy it on the remote ESXi host
