Introduction
The purpose of this article is help the user quickly get NX Server installed on a Slackware machine. The installation will use the compressed tar packages (version 3.5.X.TAR.GZ) from http://www.nomachine.com. The tutorial only applies to NoMachine's NX server implementation (free edition) and does not apply to Freenx. Instructions for installing Freenx can be found here.
What is NX?
An introduction to NX can be found at http://www.nomachine.com/documents/getting-started.php
Slackware Requirements
According to NoMachine, there are three required packages for a working installation on Linux.
- nxclient
- nxnode
- nxserver
No other dependencies are required to install NX Server. However, to connect to NX Server, sshd must already be running on the server and configured properly. The client machine must be able to connect to the server via ssh.
NX Installation
The following steps must be performed with root priviledges.
- Obtain the nxserver, nxnode, and nxclient (compressed tar) packages from http://www.nomachine.com/select-package.php?os=linux&id=1.
- Change to the /usr directory.
# cd /usr
- Extract each of the three packages.
# tar zxvf nxclient-3.5.X.tar.gz
# tar zxvf nxnode-3.5.X.tar.gz
# tar zxvf nxserver-3.5.X.tar.gz
- Create some required directories in /etc/init.d/
# mkdir /etc/init.d/rc{0,2,3,5,6}.d
- Run the installation scripts
# /usr/NX/scripts/setup/nxnode --install suse
# /usr/NX/scripts/setup/nxserver --install suse
