Easy install

Easy install is supported as of Version 7.13 of the Linux VDA. This feature helps you set up a running environment of the Linux VDA by installing the necessary packages and customizing the configuration files automatically.

Use easy install

To use this feature, do the following:

1. Prepare configuration information and the Linux machine.
2. Install the Linux VDA package.
   Go to the Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops download page. Expand the appropriate version of Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops and click Components to download the Linux VDA package that matches your Linux distribution.
3. Set up the runtime environment to complete the Linux VDA installation.

Step 1: Prepare configuration information and the Linux machine

Collect the following configuration information needed for easy install:

• Host name - Host name of the machine on which the Linux VDA is to be installed
• IP address of Domain Name Server
• IP address or string name of NTP Server
• Domain Name - The NetBIOS name of the domain
• Realm Name - The Kerberos realm name
• FQDN of Active Domain - Fully qualified domain name

Important:

• To install the Linux VDA, verify that the repositories are added correctly on the Linux machine.
• To launch a session, verify that the X Window system and desktop environments are installed.

Considerations

• The workgroup name, by default, is the domain name. To customize the workgroup in your environment, do the following:

  a. Create the /tmp/ctxinstall.conf file on the Linux VDA machine.
  b. Add the workgroup=<your workgroup> line to the file and save your changes.

• Centrify does not support pure IPv6 DNS configuration. At least one DNS server using IPv4 is required in /etc/resolv.conf for adclient to find AD services properly.
