Our easy step-by-step script guides you through installation NICE DCV on RedHat/CentOS 7.x and 8.x. The script will first update the OS, install the nVidia driver and then install and configure NICE DCV. Including update of the OS it takes around 15-30 minutes to get NICE DCV up and running.
Please note:
- The NICE DCV Server is supported in addition on SLES and Ubuntu in case preferred
Here is a part of the script:
###################################################
# identify the right DCV server to download
dcv_version="2020"
echo Checking for latest DCV $dcv_version version
dcv_server=`curl --silent --output - https://download.nice-dcv.com/ | \
grep href | egrep "$dcv_version" | grep "el8" | grep Server | sed -e 's/.*http/http/' -e 's/tgz.*/tgz/' | head -1`
echo "We will be downloading DCV server from $dcv_server"
echo
# install DCV
sudo rpm --import https://d1uj6qtbmh3dt5.cloudfront.net/NICE-GPG-KEY # allow the package manager to verify the signature
echo Downloading DCV Server from $dcv_server
wget $dcv_server
tar zxvf nice-dcv-*el8*.tgz
cd nice-dcv-*x86_64
sudo yum install nice-dcv-server-*.el8.x86_64.rpm \
