Prerequisites for Installation

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:

Using Displays

Using Displays

When you connect to a PCoIP session, the Anyware Client for Linux shows your remote desktop as one or more displays. The number of displays it shows is constrained by your local system's available monitors (and the PCoIP protocol itself, which supports up to four monitors).

Configuring Wacom Tablets

This section outlines how to configure your Wacom tablet through the Anyware Client session. There are two available features within the Anyware Client that can be used to configure the monitor display and orientation.

USB Connection Instructions

Before you carry out the Wacom tablet monitor configurations below, you must connect to the device by following the instructions outlined in the Connecting to USB Devices section.

Selecting Audio Devices

Selecting Audio Devices in Session

While in session, you can select audio devices that will be forwarded to the agent. If more than one audio device is connected to the client machine, you can select up to three audio output devices by default, and one audio input device after a PCoIP session has been established.

Connecting USB Devices

Connecting USB Devices

Remote desktops can use USB devices that are attached to the client, using a process called redirection. USB devices are not automatically redirected to the remote desktop; they must be specifically connected to the session.
