Installing the RGS Sender on Linux
NOTE: The Linux version of the RGS Sender can only be installed on the computers and Linux
operating systems shown in
Supported hardware and software on page 91. Installing the RGS
Sender on a non-supported computer will prevent an RGS connection from being established.
The RGS Sender requires a license key to establish an RGS connection (except on HP Z series
workstations, HP EliteBook mobile workstations, and HP ZBook mobile workstations). For information
on RGS Sender licensing on Linux, see the
HP Remote Graphics Software Licensing Guide ,

To install the RGS Sender on Linux:
1. Log in as root.
2. Install the accelerated NVIDIA graphics driver. This is required prior to installing the RGS
Sender. The NVIDIA driver installation creates the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf, which is used by
the RGS Sender installation.
NOTE: For some features, it is recommended to have an NVIDIA Quadro 2000 or better
graphics card with driver version 305.29 or greater.
The minimum NVIDIA driver version for RHEL6 is 256.53. The latest NVIDIA driver for your
product is available at
http://www.hp.com/support.
Install the driver using the Linux rpm command.
TIP: Installing the driver while the system is at run level 3 allows the installation to complete
without restarting. Installing while at run level 5 will require restarting.
3. Go to the directory where you downloaded RGS, and change to the directory lin64/sender.
4. Execute the following command:
./install.sh
This command will give you a choice of performing a manual installation or a partially automated
installation (automating steps 5 and 6). The RGS Sender will be installed to /opt/hpremote/
rgsender.
5. This last step of the installation is optional and will ask if you would like to automatically
customize the following files to enable proper function of the RGS Sender:
