Before installing Apache Guacamole, ensure your system is up to date. Run the following command:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

This ensures all packages and dependencies are current before installation.

Step 2: Install Required Dependencies

Apache Guacamole requires Java, Tomcat, and other dependencies. Install them using:

sudo apt install -y tomcat9 tomcat9-admin tomcat9-common tomcat9-user openjdk-17-jdk libcairo2-dev libjpeg62-turbo-dev libpng-dev libossp-uuid-dev libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev libavutil-dev libswscale-dev

Once installed, verify that Tomcat is running:

./configure --with-systemd

make

sudo make install

Once the installation completes, restart the Tomcat service:

Step 4: Configure Apache Guacamole

Edit the Guacamole configuration file to set up user authentication and connection settings:

sudo nano /etc/guacamole/guacamole.properties

Add your preferred configurations, then save and exit.
