This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of Linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS.

I will show you the step-by-step installation of the Remmina remote desktop on a Fedora 39.

Prerequisites

• A server running one of the following operating systems: Fedora 39.
• It’s recommended that you use a fresh OS install to prevent any potential issues.
• SSH access to the server (or just open Terminal if you’re on a desktop).
• Since we’ll be downloading and installing packages, ensure that your Fedora 39 system has an active internet connection.
• A non-root sudo user or access to the root user. We recommend acting as a non-root sudo user, however, as you can harm your system if you’re not careful when acting as the root.

After installing Snapd, it’s wise to verify that it’s correctly installed and running. The following command will provide information about the Snapd version on your system:
