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 ### Arch linux A PKGBUILD can be found in the [AUR](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/veyon/). ### PPA 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 ## Join development If you are interested in Veyon, its programming, artwork, testing or something like that, you're welcome to participate in the development of Veyon! 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. ## Join translation team 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. ## More information * https://veyon.io/ * https://docs.veyon.io/ * https://facebook.com/veyon.io/ * https://twitter.com/veyon_io
