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, or write your own rendezvous/relay server.

RustDesk welcomes contribution from everyone. See 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 for building Flutter version.

Please download Sciter dynamic library yourself.

Raw steps to build

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

How to build on Linux

Ubuntu 18 (Debian 10)

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

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)

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)

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

git clone 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)

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

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf sh.rustup.rs | sh source $HOME/.cargo/env git clone github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk cd rustdesk mkdir -p target/debug wget raw.githubusercontent.com/c-smile/sciter-sdk/master/bin.lnx/x64/libsciter-gtk.so mv libsciter-gtk.so target/debug VCPKG_ROOT=$HOME/vcpkg cargo run

How to build with Docker

Begin by cloning the repository and building the Docker container:

git clone github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk cd rustdesk docker build -t "rustdesk-builder" .

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

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 <OPTIONAL-ARGS> 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:

target/debug/rustdesk

Or, if you're running a release executable:

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.
