Installing LabConnect for Mac has two main sections; installing the LabConnect command line utility for Mac and installing the Microsoft Remote Desktop Application.

For instructions on how to use the LabConnect command line utility for Mac, see the usage instructions.

Install the LabConnect command line utility for Mac

  1. From a Safari browser, download the shell script installer from this link to your "Downloads" folder. In a Safari browser, you need to right click on the link, and select "Download Linked File..." Save the file to the default location of your "Downloads" folder. If your Mac does not have a "right mouse" button, hold down the "control" key when clicking the link. Warning: if you download the shell script any other way, it may add text to the installer shell script making it not run properly.
  2. Open a terminal window on your Mac. If you are unfamiliar with opening a terminal window on a Mac, reference this article.
  3. Inside the terminal window, type: 
     cd ~/Downloads
    This will change your current directory in the terminal window to your user's "Downloads" folder.
  4. In the terminal window, type 
     sudo chmod +x rgsconnect_installer.sh
    This command temporarily gives your user root access to your machine and grants permissions for the rgsconnect_installer.sh script to execute.
  5. In the terminal window, type 
     sudo ./rgsconnect_installer.sh
    This will run the installer with administrative privileges. Without administrative privileges, the install script will not be able to put the files in the Applications folder. The installer unpackages a few files and places them in the /Applications/LabConnect/ folder, and also creates a shortcut in your /usr/local/bin folder
  6. The LabConnect command line utility for Mac installation is now complete. Move on to installing the Microsoft Remote Desktop App.

Install HP ZCentral Remote Boost

  1. From the Apple App Store, find and install "Microsoft Remote Desktop 10"
  2. It should install to /Applications/Microsoft Remote Desktop.app/. If it installs in another location, LabConnect will not be able to use the Microsoft Client.

Connecting to a Lab Machine using LabConnect

Follow the instructions outlined in the usage instructions to use the client software.
