Do NOT use this script on anything less than Amahi 9 / Fedora 23 unless you edit it first to match your systems' requirements. (See [[Guacamole#Install Dependencies|Install Dependencies]] to learn what changes are necessary.)

== Install Dependencies ==
Due to the Fedora 23 ''freerdp'' packages being unstable, we must use the CentOS stable version. (Do not do this if you are installing on Fedora 21 or below) To install, execute the following:
<pre>wget https://www.dropbox.com/s/p2uc1rcpckky75v/libxkbfile-1.0.8-5.el7.x86_64.rpm
wget https://www.dropbox.com/s/0tjm7q93z9pw0hj/freerdp-libs-1.0.2-6.el7_2.1.x86_64.rpm
Now install the Fedora dependencies:
For Fedora 23 or newer (Fedora 21, substitute <code>yum</code> for <code>dnf</code>and add <code>freerdp-devel</code> to the list of dependencies):
dnf install tomcat gcc cairo-devel libjpeg-devel libpng-devel uuid-devel pango-devel \
libssh2-devel libtelnet-devel libvncserver-devel pulseaudio-libs-devel openssl-devel \
cd /var/hda/web-apps/guacamole/sqlauth/guacamole-auth-jdbc-0.9.9/mysql/schema/
and run the following command:
cat ./*.sql | mysql -uroot -phda p guacdb ::'''WARNING:''' Please see [[Database Root Password]] for the appropriate login password.

Below are some VERY basic settings for an RDP connection in Guacamole:
Name: whatever you want to call it(One can put "RDP" within the name so as to differentiate between connections types in the list)
Location: ROOT
Protocol: RDP
All the other settings are left either blank or as they were.
Note: Using RDP, only one device at a time can be logged in under a specific user. If you are logging into a Windows computer by the user "Fred" by RDP using Guacamole, any other device signed in as "Fred" will be logged out. One The side effect is that, when using RDP, a technician (using Guacamole) and client (on their Window computer) cannot see the same active desktop simultaneously. As a workaround, one can set up a VNC and an RDP connection for each Windows computer. RDP can be quicker and more fluid so use RDP when working alone and VNC when one needs to see what is currently happening on a Users computer under their account.
Special Note: Once settings are in place, users can click on their User Name in the upper right corner and choose "Home" from the drop-down menu to return to the home screen and use pre-configured connections.
