Host Application
|
||||
----------------
|
||||
|
||||
The Looking Glass Host application captures frames from the guest OS using a
|
||||
capture API, and sends them to the
|
||||
:ref:`Client <client_install>`—be it on the host OS (hypervisor) or another
|
||||
Virtual Machine—through a low-latency transfer protocol over shared memory.
|
||||
|
||||
You can get the host program in two ways:
|
||||
|
||||
- Download a pre-built binary from https://looking-glass.io/downloads
|
||||
(**recommended**)
|
||||
|
||||
- Download the source code as described in :ref:`building`, then
|
||||
:ref:`build the host <host_building>`.

To begin, you must first run the Windows VM with the changes noted above in
|

either the :ref:`client_libvirt_configuration` or :ref:`client_qemu_commands`

Installing the IVSHMEM Driver
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
Since B6 the host installer available on the official Looking Glass website
|
||||
comes with the IVSHMEM driver and will install this for you. If you are running
|
||||
an older verison of Looking Glass please refer to the documentation for your
|
||||
version.

After installing your IVSHMEM driver, we can now install the Looking Glass Host
|
||||
onto our Windows Virtual Machine.
|
||||
|
||||
1. First, run ``looking-glass-host-setup.exe`` as an administrator
|
||||
(:ref:`Why? <faq_host_admin_privs>`)
|
||||
2. You will be greeted by an intro screen. Press ``Next`` to continue.
|
||||
3. You are presented with the |license| license. Please read and agree to the
|
||||
license by pressing ``Agree``.
|
||||
4. You can change the install path if you wish, otherwise press ``Next`` to
|
||||
continue.
|
||||
5. You may enable or disable options on this screen to configure the
|
||||
installation. The default values are recommended for most users.
|
||||
Press ``Install`` to begin installation.
|
||||
6. After a few moments, installation will complete, and you will have a
|
||||
running instance of Looking Glass. If you experience failures, you can
|
||||
see them in the install log appearing in the middle of the window.
|
||||
7. Press ``Close`` to exit the installer.
|
||||
|
||||
Command line users can run ``looking-glass-host-setup.exe /S`` to execute a
|
||||
silent install with default options selected. Further configuration from the
|
||||
command line can be done with flags. You can list all available flags by
|
||||
running ``looking-glass-host-setup.exe /?``.

Installing the IVSHMEM Driver
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
Windows will not prompt for a driver for the IVSHMEM device, instead, it
|
||||
will use a default null (do nothing) driver for the device. To install
|
||||
the IVSHMEM driver you will need to go into the device manager and
|
||||
update the driver for the device "PCI standard RAM Controller" under the
|
||||
"System Devices" node.
|
||||
|
||||
A signed Windows 10 driver can be obtained from Red Hat for this device
|
||||
from the below address:
|
||||
|
||||
https://fedorapeople.org/groups/virt/virtio-win/direct-downloads/upstream-virtio/
|
||||
|
||||
Please note that you must obtain version 0.1.161 or later.
|
||||
|
||||
If you encounter warnings or errors about driver signatures, ensure secure boot
|
||||
is turned off in the bios/UEFI settings of your virtual machine.
