Prerequisites for Installing the Software Client for Linux

There are a few prerequisites to complete before Anyware Software Client for Linux installation will work. The prerequisites are listed as follows:

A desktop environment of your choice is required. Kubuntu distributions are bundled with KDE; you can install KDE from other distributions by using this command:
```
sudo apt install kubuntu-desktop
```
To install Mate Desktop, use this command:
```
sudo apt install ubuntu-mate-desktop
```

These commands are provided as a convenience; there is no requirement for KDE or Mate Desktop. Any desktop environment will work.

The desktop machine meets the client's requirements.
You have super user (root) privileges and are able to issue sudo commands.
A graphical environment has been installed/configured on the Software Client system by running the following command:
```
sudo systemctl get-default
graphical.target
```
