Low and behold, I thought there would be a native rpm
file for Amazon WorkSpace. Seems like they catered for everyone else:

But, if we further look into the default installation options, we see the following commands:

Of course, apt-key
is not valid (assuming because we use dnf
on Fedora). Now we could play around with it (and please, don’t install apt
) or we could just be lazy about it.
I was lazy. Very lazy – but, this shouldn’t be a shock. So, in place of getting a better understanding of packages, handlers and OS requirements, I reverted to a tool I have used in the past – Alien. From here, I simply downloaded the deb
file offered on their website, and ran the following:
Converted the .deb
to rpm
with the following command:
sudo alien --to-rpm workspacesclient_amd64.deb
Then, I installed it:
rpm -ivh workspacesclient-3.0.12.747-2.x86_64.rpm
What if there are errors? I don’t know. That’s what Stack Overflow is for.
Now I have a fully functional Amazon WorkSpace Application on Fedora – so yay, me.
