How to Install AnyDesk Remote Desktop Software on CentOS

Introduction

Installing AnyDesk on your CentOS system for remote desktop management can greatly enhance your ability to access and manage your server or workstation. In this guide, we will walk you through the steps to install AnyDesk on CentOS, including both the graphical and command-line methods.

Step-by-Step Installation Guide

To install AnyDesk on CentOS, follow the steps outlined below:

1. Using the Terminal in CentOS

Log in to your CentOS system and open a terminal.

Add the AnyDesk repository to your system's package manager. Run the following command:

sudo rpm --import sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo _64/

Install the AnyDesk package using the following command:

sudo dnf install anydesk

Start the AnyDesk service:

sudo systemctl start anydesk

Enable the AnyDesk service to start automatically on system boot:

sudo systemctl enable anydesk

Once the installation is complete, you can access the AnyDesk application from your CentOS desktop. The AnyDesk ID for your system will be displayed, which you can share with others to allow them to connect to your system remotely.

2. Using the Graphical Installer for CentOS

Go to the official AnyDesk website and select the CentOS 7 or CentOS 8 from the dropdown menu.

Select the Download Now button to download the AnyDesk package for your specific CentOS version.

Once the download is complete, you have three options to install the software:

Double-click on the downloaded AnyDesk package, then click on Install. Enter your password when prompted, and the installation will be completed.

Download the AnyDesk software package and then install it using the command:

rpm -ivh packagename.rpm

Use the yum or dnf command to install it, which is also a good option to fix any dependency issues:

yum install /path/packagename.rpm

After running the installation command, it may ask for your confirmation for any dependencies. Press y for yes and then press Enter.

Note: Ensure that you replace /path/packagename.rpm with the actual directory and filename path of your downloaded package.

Conclusion

Now that you have successfully installed AnyDesk on your CentOS system, remember to configure any necessary firewall rules or security settings to allow remote connections if required.
