The program is wrapped in a well-organized interface with a pleasant look that shows each step you need to take to connect to a remote PC.

I am a long time with you guys, before you were on Android. I have NoMachine on all my devices in my network. Do not stop doing this software EVER . You rule!

Android User, Play Store

NoMachine is a powerful and extensive remote desktop program that comes packed with features and is easy to learn and use.

On a real broadband connection crossing firewalls, traveling through the net, the connection feels like I’m on a Remote Desktop on my own LAN, very fast.

A big thanks for an amazing product that ‘just works’ across so many platforms!

Howard P. from Florida (NoMachine forums)

This application works as intended! Better than TeamViewer!

Iwan Jirkuw, Google Play 2018

7000 miles over a geostationary satellite internet connection. Well done!

I would like to let you know I love NoMachine. I’m a home user and NoMachine is an amazing remote access technology to access my home computer from college.

NoMachine rocks! Already love the Windows version, now I reach my PCs from my tablet — love that too.

I stumbled across a great piece of software for remote desktop. #NoMachine, I can’t believe I’ve not found it before. Great stuff!

Mightily impressed with your current packages and installation. Connecting was so painless.

Many thanks for a great product! I simply can’t live without it. It’s the life-line to my job and gives great flexibility.

Anders Gammelgaard, Denmark

I’m very pleased with NoMachine’s robustness and responsiveness. I can now use my remote machine and actually forget that it’s not directly connected to my monitor.

Larry, NoMachine forums, September 2018

This is the best in class remote desktop software. Was using your tablet version on my phone and it was fine. Now with small display support it’s even better. Thank you!

Aziz Anvarov, Google Play 2018

I was delighted to see VirtualGL working out of box, and that you bundled H.264/AVC recently. Excellent software!

Igor Podgorski, Smooth Sailing IT

The latest release of NoMachine is outstanding and my goto favorite at the moment. . NoMachine uses NX technology to provide you with encrypted security and, with regards to Linux, without the lag of trying to forward X through SSH. It’s fast, pleasant to use and I think most people who try it will fall in love with it.

Thanks very much, just wanted to say that. I think the product is fantastic. I am often on unreliable connections from here in India and your tech ensures things run far smoother than Apple Remote Desktop..

If someone were to ask me what the most-polished tool in the marketplace at present is, I would have to say NoMachine. Don’t think the competition is this slick, or spending the effort to develop such a quality product.

I started to look into remote desktop solutions but none of them were any good. Then I found this wonderful app. . Jaw dropping app, keep up the good work fellas, this is future tech right here. Highly, highly recommended!!

We needed powerful 3D acceleration for molecular visualization. NoMachine’s integration with VirtualGL was the only option that gave our users the performance they needed while simplifying IT work.

Christian P., University of Maryland

NoMachine has become central to my efforts at training students in elements of computational biology. NoMachine has made it possible to provide the Linux environment to dozens of students, over the years, using one machine. As several of the tools I use for my work are developed within the Linux environment, this is a valuable service. Support is prompt, helpful and courteous. Above all, the software is reliable.

Professor G. Acquaah‑Mensah, MCPHS University

One of my favorites was showing up to an new job with some sizable demands &, after some brief inquiry, finding they had a set of 128gb many core servers with NoMachine ready to go. Hello working from beach on ultra portables.

Twitter user August 2018

NX has helped our Computational Science and Geophysics teams move away from expensive local workstations. We are able to leverage and share more powerful and accessible machines inside the datacenter for HPC access, remote desktop and visualization. The multi-client support, dynamic screen and bandwidth controls are superb, yet simple to use.

Donny @ TOTAL E&P Research & Technology USA, LLC

We have a 6 server NX cluster. On any given day during the semester, there are approximately 150 students logged into the cluster. It is used for instruction and research, and is especially used by the faculty that teach programming, because they just point their students to the NX cluster and all the programming tools are available. The faculty love NX!

Paul H., Director, Research Support Center, Computer Science Dept, University of Virginia

What I love is that the product is very reliable, and does not require a lot of administration. I do updates once a year in the summer, then reboot the cluster in anticipation of the coming semester. Excellent product!

1.2 Required Libraries for Installing NX Client on Linux

NoMachine, in order to cover the widest number of versions for the supported Linux Operating Systems, offers three different kinds of NX Client packages:

• NX Client package for 32bit architecture
• NX Client package for 64bit architecture
• NX Client package 32bit architecture for earlier Linux versions

The NX Client for Linux packages ship a nxclient executable, which is statically linked against QT, that links dynamically with GLIBC and requires that libstdc++ version 6 is present on the system. Since NX Client provides support for font antialising, it requires also that the XFT libraries (libfontconfig.so.1 and libXft.so.2) are present on the system.

Libraries required on the local system in order to install NX Client are:

— ld-linux.so.2
— libdl.so.2
— libpthread.so.0(GLIBC_2.0)
— libaudiofile.so.0
— libdl.so.2(GLIBC_2.0)
— libpthread.so.0(GLIBC_2.1)
— libcrypt.so.1
— libdl.so.2(GLIBC_2.1)
— libpthread.so.0(GLIBC_2.2)
— libc.so.6
— libfontconfig.so.1
— libpthread.so.0(GLIBC_2.3.2)
— libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.0)
— libfreetype.so.6
— libresolv.so.2
— libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.1)
— libgcc_s.so.1
— libresolv.so.2(GLIBC_2.0)
— libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.1.1)
— libgcc_s.so.1(GCC_3.0)
— libresolv.so.2(GLIBC_2.2)
— libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.1.2)
— libgcc_s.so.1(GLIBC_2.0)
— libstdc++.so.6
— libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.1.3)
— libm.so.6
— libstdc++.so.6(GLIBCXX_3.4)
— libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.2)
— libm.so.6(GLIBC_2.0)
— libX11.so.6
— libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3)
— libnsl.so.1
— libXext.so.6
— libcups.so.2
— libpthread.so.0
— libXft.so.2

Note: Starting from NX Client 3.5.0, it is no more required that libaudiofile.so.0 is present on the system because the component that requires that library, nxesd, is linked statically to libaudiofile.

Libraries required on the local system in order to install NX Client on 64bit platforms are:

— libc.so.6()(64bit)
— libgcc_s.so.1(GCC_3.0)(64bit)
— libstdc++.so.6()(64bit)
— libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.2.5)(64bit)
— libm.so.6()(64bit)
— libstdc++.so.6(GLIBCXX_3.4)(64bit)

— libutil.so.1()(64bit)
— libcups.so.2()(64bit)
— libnsl.so.1()(64bit)
— libX11.so.6()(64bit)
— libdl.so.2()(64bit)
— libpthread.so.0()(64bit)
— libXext.so.6()(64bit)
— libdl.so.2(GLIBC_2.2.5)(64bit)
— libpthread.so.0(GLIBC_2.2.5)(64bit)
— libXft.so.2()(64bit)
— libfontconfig.so.1()(64bit)
— libpthread.so.0(GLIBC_2.3.2)(64bit)
— libXrender.so.1()(64bit)
— libfreetype.so.6()(64bit)
— libpthread.so.0(GLIBC_2.3.3)(64bit)
— libaudiofile.so.0()(64bit)
— libgcc_s.so.1()(64bit)
— libresolv.so.2()(64bit)
— libcrypt.so.1()(64bit)
— ibresolv.so.2(GLIBC_2.2.5)(64bit)

Note: Starting from NX Client 3.5.0, it is no more required that libaudiofile.so.0()(64bit) is present on the system because the component that requires that library, nxesd, is linked statically to libaudiofile.

If you are using an Operating Systems not shipped with libstdc++.so.6, you need to install NX Client for Linux i386 package for earlier Linux versions. This NX Client software works on 64bit hardware as long as the Operating System offers support for 32bit applications. Please note that, in order to be compatible also with oldest Linux versions, it doesn’t offer support for XFT libraries.

Libraries required on the local system in order to install NX Client for earlier Linux versions are:

— ld-linux.so.2
— libdl.so.2
— libpthread.so.0(GLIBC_2.1)
— libaudiofile.so.0
— libdl.so.2(GLIBC_2.0)
— libpthread.so.0(GLIBC_2.2)
— libcrypt.so.1
— libdl.so.2(GLIBC_2.1)
— libpthread.so.0(GLIBC_2.3.2)
— libc.so.6
— libfreetype.so.6
— libresolv.so.2
— libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.0)
— libgcc_s.so.1
— libresolv.so.2(GLIBC_2.0)
— libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.1)
— libgcc_s.so.1(GCC_3.0)
— libresolv.so.2(GLIBC_2.2)
— libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.1.1)
— libgcc_s.so.1(GLIBC_2.0)
— libstdc++.so.6
— libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.1.2)
— libm.so.6
— libstdc++.so.6(GLIBCXX_3.4)
— libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.1.3)
— libm.so.6(GLIBC_2.0)
— libX11.so.6
— libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.2)
— libnsl.so.1
— libXext.so.6
— libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3)
— libpthread.so.0
— libcups.so.2
— libpthread.so.0(GLIBC_2.0)

Note: Starting from NX Client 3.5.0, it is no more required that libaudiofile.so.0 is present on the system because the component that requires that library, nxesd, is linked statically to libaudiofile.

1.3 How to Obtain the Required Libraries for Your Linux Distribution
