[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Spice consists of three parts: spice protocol, spice client and spice server.  Spice protocol is used to communicate between the server and client; Spice client is the terminal used to render the service to the end user; Spice server provides the service in the background and resides on a  server machine.  In this post, we details the steps installing the spice client on pcDuino3s.

1.1 Install git tool

As we will need to obtain the source files from github during installation, we need to install git tools.

$sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf git-core
 
$sudo apt-get install autoconf automake libtool

1.2 Install other tools

$sudo apt-get install libtool liblog4cpp5-dev libavcodec-dev libssl-dev xlibmesa-glu-dev libasound-dev libpng12-dev libfreetype6-dev libfontconfig1-dev libogg-dev libxrandr-dev  libgcrypt-dev libsdl-dev libnss3-dev libpixman-1-dev libxfixes-dev libjpeg8-dev libsasl2-dev python-pyparsing

If we encounter errors during the installation, we may want to run “$sudo apt-get update” to update the sources, and then run the installation again.
