Possible you misread the instruction?

As I remeber the comand to install BOINC is:

sh boinc_5.2.13_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh

You need the right to create a BOINC folder in the folder where you execute the installation file. Or you may create a folder BOINC there with su and make it owned by the user who install and run BOINC.
