Remmina is a popular remote desktop client that allows you to control other computers or servers from your own machine. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to install Remmina on Void Linux.
Before you start the installation process, make sure you have the following:
It is always a good idea to update your system before installing any new software. To do so, open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo xbps-install -Suy
Enter your user password when prompted and wait for the process to complete.
Next, we need to install Remmina on Void Linux. In the terminal, enter the following command:
sudo xbps-install remmina remmina-plugins-all
This command will install both Remmina and its plugins.
To verify that the installation was successful, run the following command in the terminal:
remmina --version
You should see the version number of Remmina displayed in the output. If not, try restarting your system and running the command again.
Now that you have Remmina installed, you can start using it to connect to remote servers or computers. Launch Remmina from the applications menu or by executing the following command in the terminal:
remmina
You will be prompted to configure a new connection. Follow the prompts to set up a new connection and start using Remmina.
That's all it takes to install Remmina on Void Linux. Once you have it installed, you can use it to access remote machines and servers with ease.
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!
