How to Install RustDesk on OpenBSD

RustDesk is a cross-platform remote desktop software that offers fast and secure connection between two devices. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to install RustDesk on OpenBSD.

Prerequisites

• OpenBSD Operating System
• Access with administrative privileges

Steps

1. Open your terminal and update your system by running the following command:

   $ sudo pkg_add -u
   

2. Download the RustDesk binary for OpenBSD from the official website by running the following command:

   $ wget https://rustdesk.com/downloads/rustdesk-<version_number>-x86_64-unknown-openbsd.tar.gz
   

   Replace <version_number> with the actual version number of RustDesk.

3. Once the binary is downloaded, extract the files by running the following command:

   $ tar -xvf rustdesk-<version_number>-x86_64-unknown-openbsd.tar.gz
   

   This will extract the RustDesk executable file, rustdesk.

4. Move the rustdesk executable file to the /usr/local/bin/ directory by running the following command:

   $ sudo mv rustdesk /usr/local/bin/
   

   This will install RustDesk on your OpenBSD system.

5. Make RustDesk executable by changing its permission with the following command:

   $ sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/rustdesk
   

6. Now, you can start RustDesk by running the following command:

   $ rustdesk
   

   This will launch RustDesk and you can start using it for remote desktop purposes.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed RustDesk on your OpenBSD system.

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!
