Remmina is a popular remote desktop client that allows users to connect to other computers remotely. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Remmina on OpenBSD.
Before installing Remmina, you need to make sure that OpenBSD is running on your computer. You will also need to have root access or the sudo privilege on your machine.
The first step in installing Remmina is to install its dependencies. Run the following command in your terminal to install the dependencies:
sudo pkg_add freerdp gtk+2.0 vte
This command will install the necessary packages required by Remmina.
Next, download the latest version of Remmina from the official website. You can use the following command to download the package:
wget http://www.remmina.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/remmina-1.3.8.tar.gz
Once the download is complete, extract the package using the following command:
tar -xzf remmina-1.3.8.tar.gz
This command will extract the Remmina package.
To install Remmina, navigate to the extracted folder using the terminal, and run the following commands:
cd remmina-1.3.8
./configure
make
sudo make install
These commands will configure, build, and install Remmina on your OpenBSD machine.
After the installation is complete, you can start Remmina from the Applications menu, or by running the following command:
remmina
This will launch the Remmina application, and you can begin using it to connect to remote desktops.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Remmina on OpenBSD. By following these simple steps, you can easily install and use Remmina to connect to desktops remotely.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
