Debian/Ubuntu installation
==========================

On debian/ubuntu, these requirements (except NX Agent) can be satisfied using:
  sudo apt-get install make openssh-server python python-pexpect \
       python-simplejson python-gtk2 python-gobject gcc autoconf automake \
       python-docutils netcat xauth x11-xserver-utils

Nx Agent is not currently included in debian or ubuntu. Ubuntu packages can be
located here:
  https://launchpad.net/~freenx-team/+archive/ppa


Redhat/Fedora/Rpm-based distros
===============================

To build a .rpm package, run these commands (the ones prefixed with # should be
run as root). Replace names in <>'s appropriately.

# yum install yum-utils rpmdevtools
$ rpmdev-setuptree
$ cd /path/to/neatx/tree
$ tar czf ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES/neatx-0.1.tar.gz *
$ rpmbuild -bs extras/rpm/neatx.spec --nodeps
# yum-builddep ~<user>/rpmbuild/SRPMS/neatx-*.src.rpm
$ rpmbuild -bb extras/rpm/neatx.spec
# yum install --nogpgcheck ~<user>/rpmbuild/RPMS/<platform>/<rpmname>

Then customise /etc/neatx.conf as below.


Building/installing from source
====================

To build, run the following as a normal user:
  - ./autogen.sh
  - ./configure # You probably want to supply --prefix etc here. see
                # ./configure --help for details.
  - make

To install, run this as root:
  - make install

To finish setup (this assumes you've installed to the standard locations):
  - Create a 'nx' user with the shell set to the path to
    /usr/local/lib/neatx/nxserver-login-wrapper
    Debian/ubuntu example:
      useradd --system -m -d /usr/local/var/lib/neatx/home -s \
      /usr/local/lib/neatx/nxserver-login-wrapper nx
  - Install authorized_keys.nomachine:
    install -D -m 600 -o nx /usr/local/share/neatx/authorized_keys.nomachine ~nx/.ssh/authorized_keys
  - Install the example config file:
    cp /usr/local/share/doc/neatx/neatx.conf.example /usr/local/etc/neatx.conf
  - Edit neatx.conf to configure command paths that might be different on your
    system (e.g. netcat-path on fedora)
