I would like to install rdesktop on CentOS 7.
If I run sudo yum -y install rdesktop, the system says:



No package rdesktop available.


What should I do?



[EDIT]: my os version is CentOS Linux release 7.2.1511 (Core)

  • Check additional repos for CentOS 7, I think nux-desktop will help you.

  • github.com/rdesktop/rdesktop lists a rdesktop.spec file so in theory should be buildable via yum -y install rpm-build and building a local RPM via rpmbuild, which then could be installed, or placed into a local YUM repo.

How about trying the included RDP client, FreeRDP?



$ sudo yum -y install freerdp
$ xfreerdp <server>


Weigh the pros and cons here: What are the differences between rdesktop and xfreerdp?

  • It was available for me via yum in the default configuration after loading CentOS 7.1.1503 (Core). EPEL was not installed. Perhaps you have some YUM problems?

    You have the 'd' misplaced in the package name: yum -y install freerdp

For CentOS, the rdesktop package is in the nux-dextop repository. You need to install the repo and then rdesktop:



sudo rpm --import http://li.nux.ro/download/nux/RPM-GPG-KEY-nux.ro 
sudo rpm -Uvh http://li.nux.ro/download/nux/dextop/el7/x86_64/nux-dextop-release-0-1.el7.nux.noarch.rpm
sudo yum install rdesktop

    It appears that RHEL7 and CentOS 7 don't include rdesktop. Instead, they include vinagre, which appears to work well enough.
