First and foremost you will need a Windows machine with at least Windows XP. I have heard of people testing Terminals with Wine on non-Windows machines but most of what has been done locks us to good old Microsoft.
.NET Framework: Because this project is based on .NET framework, you will need to install .NET runtime first. At least .NET framework 3.5 is required. You can download it from Microsoft sites: x86 Redist Package x64 Redist Package Select other languages then English here: .NET Framework 3.5
Remote desktop client (RDP client) Since Terminals 1.9, RDP connections require RDP Client 6 or higher to work correctly. No other remote control tool has to be installed. This version doesn't support RDP 8 protocol.
The RDP6 client comes with native installations of Windows Vista and above and can be downloaded for other operating Systems from the following links:
- Terminal Services Client 6.0 update for Windows Server 2003 (KB925876)
- Terminal Services Client 6.0 update for Windows Server 2003, x64-based versions (KB925876)
- Terminal Services Client 6.0 update for Windows XP (KB925876)
- Terminal Services Client 6.0 update for Windows XP, x64-based versions (KB925876)
- .NET 4.0 is required: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=17718
- Also RDP 8 is supported:
- Not necessary
- Not available for Windows XP
