Hi, I am trying to follow the instructions on this page https://downloads.nomachine.com/download/?id=2
I am unable to get past step 1. I click to download the TAR file, select the usr directory and click ok it gives the error “Needs permissions to download” and the file never downloads.
Running Debian 11 Bullseye xfce 4.16
Suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

- Download the file to any other folder
- copy the file to the /usr folder with
sudo cp nomachine_8.11.3_4_x86_64.tar.gz /usr/
sudo tar xvzf nomachine_8.11.3_4_x86_64.tar.gz -C /usr
sudo /usr/NX/nxserver --install

sudo cp nomachine_8.11.3_4_x86_64.tar.gz /usr/
cp: cannot start ‘nomachine_8.11.3_4_x86_64.tar.gz’: No such file or directory

May 7, 2024 at 09:40 #48052BritgirlKeymasterI noticed you submitted this topic to the ARM category, so I’m assuming that you need a package for ARM. So first check that you are downloading the right package for the architecture you have. You can check this by running ‘uname -m’ in a terminal on the ARM device.
‘aarch64’ means you have ARMv8 and you should install this package:
https://downloads.nomachine.com/download/?id=118&distro=ARM
You can run this command from a terminal to get it:
wget https://www.nomachine.com/free/arm/v8/deb -O nomachine.deb
‘armv7l’ means that you have ARMv7, and so you should install this:
https://downloads.nomachine.com/download/?id=113&distro=ARM
You can run this from a terminal to get it:
wget https://www.nomachine.com/free/arm/v7/deb -O nomachine.deb
and then:
sudo dpkg -i nomachine.deb
to install.May 8, 2024 at 01:07 #48062PCdoltParticipantYes I have the aarch64 and running theĀ wget https://www.nomachine.com/free/arm/v8/deb -O nomachine.deb command and theĀ
sudo dpkg -i nomachine.deb command to install.
Its working and I am connected now replying to this message using NoMachine. Its a little laggy when I type but my local network traffic is high as I am moving 39GB to another computer on the network so will check the speed once the transfer is complete.
Thanks so much for your help I would have never got it working without your help. Hopefully my experience will help others in the future.
