Client Application Installation

For Linux
---------
The Looking Glass Client receives frames from an implementation of the Looking
Glass Server on Windows and displays them on Linux. It also handles input,
audio, overlays and optional SPICE services.
There are no Linux distribution packages for the client during the development
phase. First :ref:`build it from source <build_client_section>`, then run the
following from the client build directory as root::
make install
To install for the current user only, configure the build with a user-local
prefix before installing::
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="$HOME/.local" ..
make install
Ensure ``$HOME/.local/bin`` is in your ``PATH`` when installing to a user-local
prefix.
