The Linux client is distributed in three different kinds of packages. One that can be installed using the RPM package system, one in the DEB package format, and one in compressed tar archive form for any Linux distribution.
If you need more information than mentioned here, read Section 7.7, “ Client configuration storage ”.
In the instructions below, we assume that you have mounted your client-CD at /media/cdrom.
The RPM-based client can be found in the directory client-linux-rpm on the client CD. It is suitable for systems such as Red Hat, Fedora, SuSE, and Mandrake. Perform the following steps to install it.
$ su - Password: enter your root password # cd /media/cdrom/client-linux-rpm # yum --nogpgcheck localinstall thinlinc-client-3.3.0-3311.rpm
If the yum command is not available, use RPM instead:
# rpm -Uvh thinlinc-client-3.3.0-3311.rpm
The Linux client will now be installed, exit as root by enter exit.
The DEB-based client can be found in the directory client-linux-deb on the client CD. It is suitable for systems such as Debian and Ubuntu. Perform the following step to install it.
$ cd /media/cdrom/client-linux-deb $ sudo dpkg -i thinlinc-client_3.3.0-3311_i686.deb
The tar-based client can be found in the directory client-linux-dynamic on the client CD. Unpack the file with:
$ tar xvzf tl-3.3.0-client-linux-dynamic.tar.gz
Copy the files and directories in tl-3.3.0-client-linux to your installation place of choice, we recommend /opt/thinlinc/.
On Linux and other UNIX systems the client will be installed as /opt/thinlinc/bin/tlclient. The client package contains settings that adds /opt/thinlinc/bin to the path of the users.
To run the client, click on the "ThinLinc Client" icon in your desktop environment. Typically, the icon is found in the Internet category. You can also run the client by executing /opt/thinlinc/bin/tlclient.
