People who want to install X2Go from source resp. package X2Go for other distributions may be interested in our tarball releases. Please visit this URL to obtain tarballs (.tar.gz):

http://code.x2go.org/releases/source

or obtain code directly from out Git repository:

http://git.x2go.org/

To install an X2Go project from a provided tarball release, please use the following commands:

$ tar -vzcf <x2go-tarball_version.tar.gz> .
$ cd <x2go-tarball_version>
$ make && sudo make install

By default the $PREFIX for installation is /usr/local, so basically your (e.g.) X2Go Client application will be found in /usr/local/bin if the above command series finishes successfully.

NOTE: many code projects have an INSTALL file in their base project folder that contains extra instructions for the installation process.

$ cd </path/to>/<x2go-tarball_version>
$ sudo make uninstall

AGAIN NOTE: many code projects have an UNINSTALL file in their base project folder that contains extra instructions for the uninstallation process.
