Linux installation   without   UI Desktop (XWindows, KDE, Gnome, )



If you have installed a minimal Linux version without UI for the rrClient or rrServer daemon, 

then you have to check for these dependencies.


rrServerconsole / rrClientconsole:

The rrServerconsole or rrClientconsole itself do not require these packages.



rrWorkstationInstaller:
But if you want to use the rrWorkstationInstaller in console mode (e.g. --help) to install the service/daemon, 

then these libs are required.

It is just that Linux verifies they exist in case you might want to start the app in UI mode.
But these UI / XWindows libs are not used in commandline mode.


rrSetup (first RR install, updates)

rrSetup can be executed from any machine in your network to copy the files into your RR network folder.

But if your rrServer and your fileserver are the only Linux machines, you might want to use a Linux machine to install the RR files.

Otherwise you might have to set the executable rights yourself (Please see main Linux help page).
