Remmina is an open source remote desktop client that allows you to connect to remote servers and desktops. It was originally developed for Linux, but there is now an unofficial port for macOS. Here's how to install it:
Before you start, make sure you have the following:
A Mac computer running macOS 10.15 or later.
Homebrew installed. If you don't have it already, you can install it by running the following command in a terminal window:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
Open a terminal window and run the following command to install the XQuartz package:
brew install --cask xquartz
Once XQuartz is installed, run the following command to add the XQuartz binaries to your PATH:
echo "export PATH=\"/opt/X11/bin:\$PATH\"" >> ~/.bash_profile
Close the terminal window and open a new one.
Run the following command to install the Remmina package:
brew install freerdp/remmina/remmina
This will download and install Remmina and all its dependencies.
Once the installation is complete, you can run Remmina by typing the following command in a terminal window:
remmina
This will open the Remmina window, where you can add and manage remote connections.
You have successfully installed Remmina on your macOS computer. You can now use it to connect to remote servers and desktops. If you encounter any issues during the installation process, check the Remmina documentation or the Homebrew documentation for troubleshooting tips.
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!
