Installing the Standard Agent for Linux on RHEL or CentOS¶

Important: Required ports will be automatically opened

The Standard Agent for Linux installer will add firewall exceptions for the following required PCoIP ports during installation: TCP 443, TCP 4172, UDP 4172, and TCP 60443.

To install the Standard Agent for Linux software:

Install wget:
```
sudo yum install wget
```
Install the Teradici repository:
```
sudo yum install https://downloads.teradici.com/rhel/teradici-repo-latest.noarch.rpm
```
Beta software is available

Users who wish to test pre-release versions of software can do so by selecting the beta distribution channel before installing. To switch to the beta channel:
```
sudo yum-config-manager --disable pcoip-stable
sudo yum-config-manager --enable pcoip-beta
```
Teradici does not recommend installing beta software in production systems.

Install the EPEL repository:

sudo wget https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
sudo rpm -i epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm

Optionally install USB dependencies, if you intend to support USB devices other than keyboards, mice, and pointer devices. If you skip this step, USB redirection will be completely disabled and bridged USB devices will not work.
```
sudo yum install usb-vhci
```
Install the PCoIP Standard Agent for Linux:
```
sudo yum install pcoip-agent-standard
```
Note your machine's local IP address. Clients connecting directly to the host workstation will need this number to connect.
Enter the license registration code you received from Teradici.

Note: These instructions are for Cloud Licensing

These instructions assume you are using Teradici Cloud Licensing to activate your PCoIP session licenses. If you are using the Teradici License Server instead, see Licensing the Standard Agent for Linux.

For unproxied internet connections, type:
```
pcoip-register-host --registration-code=<XXXXXX@YYY-YYYY-YYY>
```
For proxied internet conections, type:
```
pcoip-register-host --registration-code=<XXXXXX@YYY-YYYY-YYY> --proxy-server=<serverURL> --proxy-port=<port>
```
Reboot the desktop.

Once you've installed the software, you can configure it, register licenses, or connect to it.

Note: Desktop user interfaces will only be available using PCoIP

Once installed and running, the PCoIP Standard Agent for Linux takes over the graphics subsystem which is then unavailable to hypervisors. You can only view the graphical user interface when connecting with a PCoIP client.

For example, you cannot view an ESXi virtual machine console through VSphere; you must connect to the machine using PCoIP.
