Please refer to the official Veyon User Manual at https://docs.veyon.io/en/latest/user/index.html for information on how to use Veyon.
First grab the latest sources by cloning the Git repository and fetching all submodules:
git clone --recursive https://github.com/veyon/veyon.git && cd veyon
Requirements for Debian-based distributions:
As root you can run
apt install g++ libc6-dev make cmake qtbase5-dev qtbase5-private-dev \
qtbase5-dev-tools qttools5-dev qttools5-dev-tools \
qtdeclarative5-dev qtquickcontrols2-5-dev libfakekey-dev \
xorg-dev libxtst-dev libjpeg-dev zlib1g-dev libssl-dev libpam0g-dev \
libprocps-dev liblzo2-dev libqca-qt5-2-dev libldap2-dev \
libsasl2-dev ninja-build
Requirements for RedHat-based distributions:
As root you can run
dnf install gcc-c++ make cmake rpm-build qt5-devel libXtst-devel libXrandr-devel libXinerama-devel libXcursor-devel \
libXrandr-devel libXdamage-devel libXcomposite-devel libXfixes-devel libfakekey-devel libjpeg-turbo-devel zlib-devel \
openssl-devel pam-devel procps-devel lzo-devel qca-devel qca-qt5-devel openldap-devel cyrus-sasl-devel ninja-build
Run the following commands:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make -j4
NOTE: If you want to build a .deb or .rpm package for this software, instead of the provided cmake command, you should use:
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr ..
to install package files in /usr instead of /usr/local.
If some requirements are not fullfilled, CMake will inform you about it and you will have to install the missing software before continuing.
You can now generate a package (.deb or .rpm depending what system you are in).
For generating a package you can run
fakeroot make package
Then you'll get something like veyon_x.y.z_arch.deb or veyon-x.y.z.arch.rpm
Alternatively you can install the built binaries directly (not recommended for production systems) by running the following command as root:
make install
A PKGBUILD can be found in the AUR.
This PPA contains official Veyon packages for Ubuntu suitable for use both on desktop computers and ARM boards (e.g. Raspberry Pi). Even though only packages for LTS releases are available they should work for subsequent non-LTS releases as well.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:veyon/stable
sudo apt-get update

Before starting the implementation of a new feature, please always open an issue at https://github.com/veyon/veyon/issues to start a discussion about your intended implementation. There may be different ideas, improvements, hints or maybe an already ongoing work on this feature.
Veyon and its documentation are translated at the Transifex platform. Please go to https://www.transifex.com/veyon-solutions/veyon and join the corresponding translation team. Please DO NOT submit pull requests for modified translation files since this would require manual Transifex synchronizations on our side.
