Install help for Red Hat Open Client

[Myersnet]

I'm completely new to Linux. I have Red Hat Enterprise Open Client Workstation 7.3. I've downloaded the .tar.gz file and extracted it to a folder on my desktop. I can't get the setup to work properly. The included README indicates to use "./hm.sh" for Linux - this doesn't work in my terminal window. It returns the usage screen for hm.py. I don't know what it's looking for. I see there are commands I can use, such as setup, or build or install..... but the README doesn't say what the full command should be.

In the README, there is a wiki reference. I read this.... in the order the article is written in, I think I need the Compile section. This indicates to use the ./hm.sh also, but doesn't say what command to use to compile the Synergy application.  Is it then required, after the successful compile, to then go on to the Building Installer section? It shouldn't be this hard to simply install an application, and I would assume the developers would have put the specific commands and process, in the proper order, in the README file or the INSTALL file? (The INSTALL file simply has two URLs which are no specific help either).

 

 

Thank you for specific, meaningful help.

You can refer to our Compiling Wiki for that.

Paul - the Wiki is not complete? Did you read my post? The Wiki leaves out the rest of the command I need to finish the install.

[Paul Suarez]

Would you be able to use CMake on that machine?

@MyersnetThere's currently a bug on our website that links Linux users to the source code rather than the prebuilt packages. Please simply install the CentOS 7 RPM linked from the post below.

It's not clear enough. How do we install the .tar.gz file you guys provided on your website.

I have same problem with 2.0.9 and 2.0.10. I installed google-chrome too. It didn't help either.

I got it working. Needed 3 dependency packages.

yum install qt5-qbase
yum install qt5-qtsvg
yum install qt5-qtquickcontrols

To install Synergy 1.9.1 on Centos 7.4 I had to install qt5-qtbase qt5-qtbase-gui:

yum install qt5-qtbase qt5-qtbase-gui
