[![ko-fi](https://ko-fi.com/img/githubbutton_sm.svg)](https://ko-fi.com/I2I04VU09)



Yet another remote desktop software, written in Rust. Works out of the box, no configuration required. You have full control of your data, with no concerns about security. You can use our rendezvous/relay server, [set up your own](https://rustdesk.com/server), or [write your own rendezvous/relay server](https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk-server-demo).

RustDesk welcomes contribution from everyone. See [CONTRIBUTING.md](docs/CONTRIBUTING.md) for help getting started.

## Dependencies



Desktop versions use Flutter or Sciter (deprecated) for GUI, this tutorial is for Sciter only, since it is easier and more friendly to start. Check out our [CI](https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk/blob/master/.github/workflows/flutter-build.yml) for building Flutter version.



Please download Sciter dynamic library yourself.



[Windows](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/c-smile/sciter-sdk/master/bin.win/x64/sciter.dll) |

[Linux](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/c-smile/sciter-sdk/master/bin.lnx/x64/libsciter-gtk.so) |

[macOS](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/c-smile/sciter-sdk/master/bin.osx/libsciter.dylib)



## Raw steps to build



- Prepare your Rust development env and C++ build env



- Install [vcpkg](https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg), and set `VCPKG_ROOT` env variable correctly



  - Windows: vcpkg install libvpx:x64-windows-static libyuv:x64-windows-static opus:x64-windows-static aom:x64-windows-static

  - Linux/macOS: vcpkg install libvpx libyuv opus aom



- run `cargo run`



## [Build](https://rustdesk.com/docs/en/dev/build/)



## How to build on Linux



### Ubuntu 18 (Debian 10)



```sh

sudo apt install -y zip g++ gcc git curl wget nasm yasm libgtk-3-dev clang libxcb-randr0-dev libxdo-dev \

        libxfixes-dev libxcb-shape0-dev libxcb-xfixes0-dev libasound2-dev libpulse-dev cmake make \

        libclang-dev ninja-build libgstreamer1.0-dev libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-dev libpam0g-dev

```



### openSUSE Tumbleweed



```sh

sudo zypper install gcc-c++ git curl wget nasm yasm gcc gtk3-devel clang libxcb-devel libXfixes-devel cmake alsa-lib-devel gstreamer-devel gstreamer-plugins-base-devel xdotool-devel pam-devel

```



### Fedora 28 (CentOS 8)



```sh

sudo yum -y install gcc-c++ git curl wget nasm yasm gcc gtk3-devel clang libxcb-devel libxdo-devel libXfixes-devel pulseaudio-libs-devel cmake alsa-lib-devel gstreamer1-devel gstreamer1-plugins-base-devel pam-devel

```



### Arch (Manjaro)



```sh

sudo pacman -Syu --needed unzip git cmake gcc curl wget yasm nasm zip make pkg-config clang gtk3 xdotool libxcb libxfixes alsa-lib pipewire

```



### Install vcpkg



```sh

git clone https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg

cd vcpkg

git checkout 2023.04.15

cd ..

vcpkg/bootstrap-vcpkg.sh

export VCPKG_ROOT=$HOME/vcpkg

vcpkg/vcpkg install libvpx libyuv opus aom

```



### Fix libvpx (For Fedora)



```sh

cd vcpkg/buildtrees/libvpx/src

cd *

./configure

sed -i 's/CFLAGS+=-I/CFLAGS+=-fPIC -I/g' Makefile

sed -i 's/CXXFLAGS+=-I/CXXFLAGS+=-fPIC -I/g' Makefile

make

cp libvpx.a $HOME/vcpkg/installed/x64-linux/lib/

cd

```



### Build



```sh

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

source $HOME/.cargo/env

git clone https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk

cd rustdesk

mkdir -p target/debug

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/c-smile/sciter-sdk/master/bin.lnx/x64/libsciter-gtk.so

mv libsciter-gtk.so target/debug

VCPKG_ROOT=$HOME/vcpkg cargo run

```



## How to build with Docker



Begin by cloning the repository and building the Docker container:



```sh

git clone https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk

cd rustdesk

docker build -t "rustdesk-builder" .

```



Then, each time you need to build the application, run the following command:



```sh

docker run --rm -it -v $PWD:/home/user/rustdesk -v rustdesk-git-cache:/home/user/.cargo/git -v rustdesk-registry-cache:/home/user/.cargo/registry -e PUID="$(id -u)" -e PGID="$(id -g)" rustdesk-builder

```



Note that the first build may take longer before dependencies are cached, subsequent builds will be faster. Additionally, if you need to specify different arguments to the build command, you may do so at the end of the command in the `` position. For instance, if you wanted to build an optimized release version, you would run the command above followed by `--release`. The resulting executable will be available in the target folder on your system, and can be run with:



```sh

target/debug/rustdesk

```



Or, if you're running a release executable:



```sh

target/release/rustdesk

```



Please ensure that you are running these commands from the root of the RustDesk repository, otherwise the application might not be able to find the required resources. Also note that other cargo subcommands such as `install` or `run` are not currently supported via this method as they would install or run the program inside the container instead of the host.
