Chapter 3. Installation
3.1. Overview
This chapter describes how to install the ThinLinc software on ThinLinc Linux Terminal Servers and MS
Windows Terminal Servers. To upgrade an existing installation, see Section 3.5.
1. If your setup includes a MS Windows Terminal Server, we suggest installing this machine first. In
addition, install the WTS Tools package on the Windows server, following the instructions in
Section 3.7.
2. Read through any platform-specific notes for your distribution. These can be found at
http://www.cendio.com/resources/docs/platforms.
3. Install the ThinLinc Master machine, following the instructions in Section 3.4.1.
4. Optionally, install the ThinLinc Slave machines.

the quality assurance work for each release, ThinLinc is tested extensively on a few platforms. For this
release of ThinLinc, the list of such platforms are:
• Red Hat® Enterprise Linux Server 7 (64-bit)
