RustDesk is an excellent, open-source remote desktop application. It is similar to Teamviewer and Anydesk. However, it is better as it allows users to host their own connection server if they choose (it is not required, though). Here\u2019s how to use RustDesk on Linux.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Installing RustDesk on Linux<\/h2>\n

Before using RustDesk to connect to remote computers, you\u2019ll first have to install the application on your Linux PC. To start the installation process, open up a terminal window on the Linux desktop.<\/p>\n

You can open up a terminal window on the Linux desktop by pressing\u00a0Ctrl + Alt + T<\/strong> on the keyboard. Or, search for \u201cTerminal\u201d in the app menu and launch it that way. Once the terminal window is open, follow along with the installation instructions below that correspond with the Linux OS you use.<\/p>\n

Ubuntu<\/h4>\n

The RustDesk application supports the Ubuntu operating system officially on the website. However, you\u2019ll need to download the latest DEB package from the RustDesk GitHub page to start the installation.<\/p>\n

To start the download of the DEB package onto your computer, use the following wget<\/strong> command down below. The\u00a0wget<\/strong> command below will download the DEB package to your home folder.<\/p>\n

\nwget https:\/\/github.com\/rustdesk\/rustdesk\/releases\/download\/1.1.6\/rustdesk-1.1.6-ubuntu16.deb\n<\/pre>\n
After downloading the DEB package to your computer using wget<\/strong>, the installation of RustDesk on Ubuntu can begin. Use the apt install<\/strong> command down below to set up the app.<\/p>\n
\nsudo apt install .\/rustdesk-1.1.6-ubuntu16.deb\n<\/pre>\n
Debian<\/h4>\n
To get RustDesk up and running on Debian, you\u2019ll have to download the DEB RustDesk package to your computer. Using the wget<\/strong> command down below, grab the latest DEB package.<\/p>\n
\nwget https:\/\/github.com\/rustdesk\/rustdesk\/releases\/download\/1.1.6\/rustdesk-1.1.6.deb\n<\/pre>\n
After downloading the latest DEB release of RustDesk to your Debian Linux PC, you can start the installation process. Using the dpkg<\/strong> command, install the RustDesk DEB package to your computer.<\/p>\n
\nsudo dpkg -i rustdesk-1.1.6.deb\n<\/pre>\n
Following the installation of RustDesk, you\u2019ll have to clean up the dependencies that may not have been fully installed with the package.<\/p>\n
\nsudo apt-get install -f\n<\/pre>\n
Arch Linux<\/h4>\n
RustDesk is not listed on the GitHub release page for the app, but it is in the Arch Linux AUR. So, if you want to get it working on your system, you will have to get it working with the Trizen AUR helper.<\/p>\n
Using the pacman<\/strong> command, set up the \u201cGit\u201d and \u201cBase-devel\u201d packages onto your system. These two packages are required to get the Trizen helper working.<\/p>\n
\nsudo pacman -S base-devel git\n<\/pre>\n
With the two packages set up, enter the commands below in succession to get the Trizen helper working.<\/p>\n
\ngit clone https:\/\/aur.archlinux.org\/trizen.git\ncd trizen\/\nmakepkg -sri\n<\/pre>\n
Finally, you\u2019ll be able to install the RustDesk application using the trizen -S<\/strong> command.<\/p>\n
\ntrizen -S rustdesk-bin\n<\/pre>\n
Fedora<\/h4>\n
Fedora is supported with RustDesk via an RPM package file on the official GitHub page. To get it working, use the following wget<\/strong> download command down below. It will place the RPM package file in your home folder.<\/p>\n
\nwget https:\/\/github.com\/rustdesk\/rustdesk\/releases\/download\/1.1.6\/rustdesk-1.1.6-fedora28-centos8.rpm\n<\/pre>\n
When the download is complete, the installation can begin. From here, use the dnf install<\/strong> command below to install the program.<\/p>\n
\nsudo dnf install rustdesk-1.1.6-fedora28-centos8.rpm\n<\/pre>\n
OpenSUSE<\/h4>\n
RustDesk can be used on OpenSUSE because they distribute an RPM package file on the RustDesk GitHub page. To start the installation, use the wget<\/strong> downloader command down below to grab the RPM package file.<\/p>\n
\nwget https:\/\/github.com\/rustdesk\/rustdesk\/releases\/download\/1.1.6\/rustdesk-1.1.6-fedora28-centos8.rpm\n<\/pre>\n
With the download complete, use the zypper install<\/strong> command to set up the RustDesk application on OpenSUSE.<\/p>\n
\nsudo zypper install rustdesk-1.1.6-fedora28-centos8.rpm\n<\/pre>\n
How to use RustDesk on Linux<\/h2>\n
To use RustDesk, open up the application on the desktop. Then, follow along with the step-by-step instructions down below.<\/p>\n
Step 1:<\/strong> Ensure that the RustDesk app is installed on both the computer you wish to connect to, as well as the computer accessing it remotely.<\/p>\n
When the app is open on both machines, locate the ID code and password and share it with the other computer that wishes to connect to you.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Step 2:<\/strong> Paste the connect ID code into the text box. After you do that, click on the \u201cConnect\u201d button with the mouse. When you click on the \u201cConnect\u201d button, you\u2019ll be prompted to enter the connection password given to you by the other user.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Step 3:<\/strong> When you enter your password, you\u2019ll be able to access the remote machine in RustDesk. From here, you\u2019ll have complete access to the remote desktop: keyboard access, mouse access, and even the clipboard.<\/p>\n
Need to end the remote connection in RustDesk? Find the red \u201cDisconnect\u201d button and select it with the mouse. When you choose this button, the RustDesk remote connection will end.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
