MeshCommander on Linux Inofficial Builds

About

Currently, the MeshCommander desktop application is officially only available for Windows OS.

This is a bummer, as the desktop application offers additional functionality compared to the web version included in MeshCmd, MeshCentral, in-firmware installations etc.

These additional features include among others:

• a simple certification authority for deploying TLS to AMT devices
• ability to connect to a MeshCentral server and the devices connected to it, which can be used to e.g.
  • access CIRA clients
  • run MEscripts on multiple AMT devices simultaneously
  • configure AMT devices for mutual TLS
• an advanced editor for setup.bin files used for USB based configuration deployment of AMT
• replay remote desktop sessions recorded by MeshCentral

This project brings MeshCommander to the Linux world, based on the official builds for Windows. Builds are available as packages for RPM based x86_64 Linux distributions in the Download section below.

The packages are created on Fedora, but they are quite generic and should install and run smoothly on other RPM based distributions as well. For instance, MeshCommander on Linux has been successfully installed and run on CentOS 7 and 8.

If you want to create the RPM from the Windows builds on your own, download the spec file from the Download section below and follow these instructions.
