Now let's see how to install AnyDesk on CentOS 8
1. How to add AnyDesk repository in CentOS 8
Step 1
First of all, we will add the official repository by accessing as root users, we will execute "sudo su" for it, and then we will enter the following in CentOS 8:
cat> /etc/yum.repos.d/AnyDesk-CentOS.repo << "EOF" [anydesk] name = AnyDesk CentOS - stable baseurl = http: //rpm.anydesk.com/centos/$basearch/ gpgcheck = 1 repo_gpgcheck = 1 gpgkey = https: //keys.anydesk.com/repos/RPM-GPG-KEY EOF
Step 2
In case of using Red Hat we must enter the following:
cat> /etc/yum.repos.d/AnyDesk-RHEL.repo << "EOF" [anydesk] name = AnyDesk RHEL - stable baseurl = http: //rpm.anydesk.com/rhel/$basearch/ gpgcheck = 1 repo_gpgcheck = 1 gpgkey = https: //keys.anydesk.com/repos/RPM-GPG-KEY EOF Or if we use Fedora (based on RHEL), we execute: cat> /etc/yum.repos.d/AnyDesk-Fedora.repo << "EOF" [anydesk] name = AnyDesk Fedora - stable baseurl = http: //rpm.anydesk.com/fedora/$basearch/ gpgcheck = 1 repo_gpgcheck = 1 gpgkey = https: //keys.anydesk.com/repos/RPM-GPG-KEY EOF
After this we will create the system cache with the following command:
sudo dnf makecache
Step 3
We enter the letter s to confirm and we will see the following at the end of the process:
Step 4
At this moment we are going to add the LSB kernel support, this allows the system interfaces, libraries and the execution environment of the applications and libraries to be executed correctly. For this we enter the following:
sudo dnf install -y redhat-lsb-core
Step 5
After this we will see that it has been installed correctly:
Step 6
We proceed to install AnyDesk with the following command:
sudo dnf install anydesk
Step 7
We accept the installation with the letter "s" to continue with the process:
Step 8
As we can see, we must accept the integration of the GPG ID, at the end AnyDesk will be installed:
Step 9
We check the version and parameters of AnyDesk with the following command:
rpm -qi anydesk
Step 10
We check the status of the AnyDesk service:
systemctl status anydesk.service
Step 11
We enable the AnyDesk service:
systemctl is-enabled anydesk.service
2. How to access AnyDesk on CentOS 8
Step 1
We are now ready to use AnyDesk in CentOS 8, for this we go to activities and from there we can open it:
Step 2
By accessing the application we can know its environment and from there allow the connection either from or to CentOS 8:
Anydesk has been installed on CentOS 8 and we are ready to receive and give remote support if needed.
