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.) x2goclient 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.

The following X2go projects support tarball installation. If you find a reference to a release version here that has not yet been release (i.e. is not available as tarball) then this means that it will be available in the code project's next upcoming release.
