You can download and run a Horizon Client installer bundle from the VMware Downloads page. This installer contains modules for features such as USB redirection, Real-Time Audio-Video, smart card, and client drive redirection. To upgrade Horizon Client for Linux, you first uninstall the existing version from the client system and then run the installer bundle for the new version.

Note: On most Linux distributions, the Horizon Client installer bundle starts a GUI wizard. You can also run the installer with the command-line —console parameter to start the command-line wizard.

Prerequisites

• Verify that the client system runs a supported operating system. See System Requirements for Linux Client Systems.
• Become familiar with the installation options. See Installation Options.
• Verify that you have root access on the client system.
• Verify that VMware Workstation is not installed on the client system.
• If you plan to use the RDP display protocol to connect to a remote desktop, verify that you have the appropriate RDP client installed. See System Requirements for Linux Client Systems.
• Uninstall any earlier version of the Horizon Client software. See Uninstall Horizon Client for Linux.
• If you plan to use the command-line installer, become familiar with the Linux command-line installation options. See Command-Line Installation Parameters for the Linux Client.
• Confirm that version 2.x or 3.x of Python is installed on the client system.

Note: To ensure that Horizon Client has access to all the required Python modules, use the Python package installed by default with your Linux distribution. Avoid installing Python manually, because a manual installation might not include all the required modules. If both Python 2.x and Python 3.x are installed on the system, Horizon Client uses the Python 3.x package.

As part of the installation process, the installer runs a scan of the system libraries to determine whether the system is compatible with Horizon Client , although you can select to skip the scan.

Procedure

1. On the Linux client system, download the Horizon Client installer file from the Horizon Client Product Downloads page at http://www.vmware.com/go/viewclients.

In the installer filename, YYMM represents the marketing version number, x.x.x represents the internal version number, and yyyyyyy represents the build number. arch represents the CPU instruction set architecture.

chmod +x VMware-Horizon-Client-YYMM-x.x.x-yyyyyyy.arch.bundle

sudo ./VMware-Horizon-Client-YYMM-x.x.x-yyyyyyy.arch.bundle

sudo sh ./VMware-Horizon-Client-YYMM-x.x.x-yyyyyyy.arch.bundle

sudo ./VMware-Horizon-Client-YYMM-x.x.x-yyyyyyy.arch.bundle --console

sudo sh ./VMware-Horizon-Client-YYMM-x.x.x-yyyyyyy.arch.bundle --console

Note: In addition to —console , you can use other command-line parameters and environment variables to control installation settings such as the installation of optional components. See Command-Line Installation Parameters for the Linux Client.

Specify whether to allow the installer to register and start installed services after the installation.

Allowing the installer to complete these tasks means that you do not need to manually start USB redirection services every time you reboot.

Results

You can find log information about the installation 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 Published Application.
