Installation and Setup Guide

3 Follow the prompts to nish the installation.
I You are prompted to allow the installer to register and start installed services after the
installation. Allowing the installer to complete these tasks means that you will not need to manually
start USB redirection services every time you reboot, and you will not need to manually enable the
virtual printing feature.
4 After installation is complete, specify whether to perform the compatibility scan for libraries that
various feature components are dependent on.
The system scan displays a result value for each library compatibility.
Result Value Description
Success
All needed libraries were found.
Failed
The specied library was not found.
Log information about the installation is recorded in /tmp/vmware-root/vmware-installer-pid.log.
What to do next
Start Horizon Client and verify that you can log in to the correct virtual desktop. See “Connect to a Remote
Desktop or Application,” on page 51.
Command-Line Installation Options for the Linux Client
You can use command-line installation options to install Horizon Client on a Linux system.
Install Horizon Client silently by using the --console option along with other command-line options and
environment variable seings. With silent installation, you can eciently deploy View components in a
large enterprise.
The following table lists the options you can use when you run the VMware-Horizon-Client-x.x.x-
yyyyyyy.arch.bundle installer le.
Table 1‑3. Linux Command-Line Installation Options
Option Description
--help
Displays usage information.
--console
Enables you to use the command-line installer in a Terminal window.
--custom
Shows all installation questions, even if default answers have been
scripted, such as, for example, by using the --set-setting options.
The default is --regular, which means show only questions that do not
have a default answer.
--eulas-agreed
Agrees to the end user license agreement.
--gtk
Opens the GUI-based VMware installer, which is the default option. If the
GUI cannot be displayed or loaded for any reason, console mode is used.
--ignore-errors or -I
Allows the installation to continue even if there is an error in one of the
installer scripts. Because the section that has an error does not complete,
the component might not be properly congured.
--regular
Shows installation questions that have not been answered before or are
required. This is the default option.
--required
Shows the license agreement prompt only and then proceeds to install the
client.
The default is --regular, which means show only questions that do not
have a default answer.
