Client Application Installation

For Linux

The Looking Glass Client receives frames from an implementation of the Looking Glass Server on Windows and displays them on Linux. It also handles input, audio, overlays and optional SPICE services.

There are currently no Linux distribution packages for the client. First build it from source, then run the following from the client build directory as root:

make install

To install for the current user only, configure the build with a user-local prefix before installing:

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="$HOME/.local" ..
make install

Ensure $HOME/.local/bin is in your PATH when using the user-local installation.
