Guacamole Installation

Guac Server

These are supposed to be the only necessary steps to install Guacamole, but the add-repository step didn't work:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:guacamole/stable
sudo apt-get install guacamole-tomcat

So, had to install from source. Installation of prerquisites:

Basic stuff:

sudo apt install make
sudo apt install emacs-nox

Required stuff:

sudo apt install libcairo2-dev
sudo apt install libjpeg-turbo8-dev
sudo apt install libpng-dev
sudo apt install libtool-bin
sudo apt install libossp-uuid-dev

Optional stuff:

sudo apt install libvncclient1
#sudo apt install freerdp2-dev
sudo apt install libssl-dev
sudo apt install libssh2-1-dev
sudo apt install libpango1.0-dev
sudo apt install libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev libavutil-dev libswscale-dev
sudo apt install libvncserver-dev

Configuring:

./configure --with-init-dir=/etc/init.d #--disable-dependency-tracking

Build and install:

make
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig

Guac Client

Install tomcat:

sudo apt install tomcat9
sudo cp ~/Downloads/guacamole-1.3.0.war /var/lib/tomcat9/webapps/
systemctl restart tomcat9

Note: after copying the war file to the webapps directory, and restarting Tomcat, it will un-jar the war file into guacamole-1.3.0. This makes the file accessible at http://localhost:8080/guacamole-1.3.0. To make the URL more convenient, just move the unpacked directory to guacamole and then delete the war file:

mv /var/lib/tomcat9/webapps/guacamole-1.3.0 /var/lib/tomcat9/webapps/guacamole
rm /var/lib/tomcat9/webapps/guacamole-1.3.0.war

The guad daemon must be restarted:

sudo /etc/init.d/guacd start

The Guacamole web will now be available at http://localhost:8080/guacamole.

Configure guacd

cd /etc
mkdir guacamole
cd guacamole
mkdir lib
mkdir extensions

Edit guocamole.properties and enter:

# Hostname and port of guacamole proxy
guacd-hostname: localhost
guacd-port:     4822

Edit user-mapping.xml

<user-mapping>
    <!-- Per-user authentication and config information -->
    <authorize username="foo" password="bar">
        <protocol>vnc</protocol>
        <param name="hostname">127.0.0.1</param>
        <param name="port">5901</param>
        <param name="password">nitnarcu</param>
    </authorize>
</user-mapping>

Restart guacd:

/etc/init.d/guacd restart

Xvnc

apt install xterm
apt install tightvncserver
apt install wmaker

MagicDraw Setup

Download MagicDraw_190_sp4_no_install.zip

sudo apt install unzip
sudo apt install openjdk-8-jdk
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-amd64/
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH

TBD

Install fonts for MagicDraw – arial to begin with
...or install Helvetica and figure out how to configure font substitution
Edit the wmaker menus to add MagicDraw, delete all the unneeded stuff
Make some tweaks to the way MagicDraw works.
