- Upgrade the system:
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get upgrade
- Install the required dependencies:

$ sudo apt-get install libpng12-dev
$ sudo apt-get install libossp-uuid-dev
- Install the optional packages:
$ sudo apt-get install libavcodec-dev libavutil-dev libswscale-dev
$ sudo apt-get install libpango1.0-dev
$ sudo apt-get install libssh2-1-dev
$ sudo apt-get install libtelnet-dev
$ sudo apt-get install libvncserver-dev

$ wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/guacamole/files/current/source/guacamole-client-0.9.14.tar.gz
- Build and install the server:
$ tar xzf guacamole-server-0.9.14.tar.gz
$ cd guacamole-server-0.9.14
$ ./configure --with-init-dir=/etc/init.d
$ make
$ sudo make install
$ sudo update-rc.d guacd defaults
$ sudo ldconfig
- Build the client:
$ sudo apt-get install maven
$ tar xzf guacamole-client-0.9.14.tar.gz
$ cd guacamole-client-0.9.14
$ mvn package
- Install jetty9 servlet container:
$ sudo apt-get install jetty9
- Deploy Guacamole:
$ sudo cp guacamole/target/guacamole-0.9.14.war /var/lib/jetty9/webapps/guacamole.war
$ sudo mkdir -p /etc/guacamole/extensions
$ sudo cp extensions/guacamole-auth-noauth/target/guacamole-auth-noauth-0.9.14.jar /etc/guacamole/extensions/.

</user-mapping>- Install x11vnc VNC-Server:
$ sudo apt-get install x11vnc
- Copy following text and save it as “~/.config/autostart/x11vnc.desktop”
[Desktop Entry]
Name=X11 VNC

Exec=x11vnc -forever -nopw -rfbport 5900 -display :0
Terminal=false
Type=Application
X-MATE-Autostart-enabled=true
Comment[de_DE]=Remotedesktop Server
- Restart Raspberry Pi:
$ sudo reboot
At this point guacamole should be automatically started at system boot. You can try to open it from a web-browser, the address is “<ip-address>:<port>/guacamole”. On my network it looks like this “192.168.178.100:8080/guacamole”.
In case you use headless system (Raspberry Pi without display attached) and you have poor display resolution, you can set the parameters in “/boot/config.txt” from this:
#framebuffer_width=1280
#framebuffer_height=720
#hdmi_force_hotplug=1
to this (for full HD resolution):
framebuffer_width=1920
framebuffer_height=1080
hdmi_force_hotplug=1
Restart the system and that’s it. Have fun!
