Installing the Standard Agent for Linux on Ubuntu

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:

  1. Download and install the Teradici pcoip-agent repository, via the shell script provided here.

    Note: This installs the stable repository

    This will install the stable repository for the Standard Agent for Linux. The stable repo contains officially supported releases and is recommended for production systems.

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.

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