11.3. User Client Deployment

11.3.1. Introduction

Since the software is written in Java it can be deployed on any platform where Java SE 11 or higher is installed, like Microsoft Windows, macOS and GNU/Linux. The User Client software is installed on the server in the /opt/savapage/client/app directory.

Caution

Running the User Client directly from a network share can cause performance problems, resulting in an unresponsive application. Therefore is it recommended to run the client from a local copy.

Note

The User Client is resilient in the event that the connection with the server is (temporarily) lost. The connection will be restored automatically after a short break. If the connection is lost for a longer period of time, the user is notified with a pop-up message with the choice to try again or to close the application.

11.3.2. Deployment on Windows

The savapage-client.bat batch file that starts the application is available in the /opt/savapage/client/app directory on the server.

Note

Make sure to enable Balloon Notification in Windows Group Policy to allow users to see notification messages.

11.3.3. Deployment on macOS

The savapage-client shell script that starts the application is available in the /opt/savapage/client/app directory on the server.

11.3.4. Deployment on GNU/Linux

The savapage-client shell script that starts the application is available in the /opt/savapage/client/app directory on the server.
