Why choose Remmina?
Remmina connects to remote machines over RDP, VNC, SSH and SPICE from a single application, with saved connection profiles. It is the default remote desktop client on most Linux distributions.
Remmina is open source, so the source code is public, the licence cannot be withdrawn, and no company can move it behind a paywall later. It runs on Linux, and it comes from Remmina project rather than from a repackager — this page sends you to remmina.org, the publisher's own site, so what you install is the authentic signed build.
Worth comparing before you commit: Remmina vs AnyDesk, Remmina vs TeamViewer, Remmina vs RustDesk.
Remmina features
- RDP, VNC, SSH and SPICE in one client

How to download and install Remmina on Linux
- Use the official source. The download button on this page opens remmina.org, the publisher's own site — that is the safe route. If you would rather we double-check the current link first, ask and we email it. Either way, never take a remmina download from a mirror or a "download manager" portal, which is where bundled adware comes from.
- Pick the build for your system. Remmina runs on Linux. On Windows take the 64-bit package unless you are on an old 32-bit installation.
- Run the installer and accept the defaults. Remmina project ships no bundled extra software with it, so there is nothing to untick.
- Open it once before you need it. Confirming it launches and sees your files or hardware takes a minute now and saves a problem later.
- Keep it updated. Update from inside the program or from remmina.org — update prompts arriving by email or pop-up are not from the publisher.
Downloading Remmina in India
Remmina is the same software worldwide — there is no separate India build, no regional licence and nothing extra to pay. A remmina download in India gets the identical package everyone else receives, straight from remmina.org.
We link only to that official source, so a remmina setup download India from this page cannot arrive wrapped in a third-party installer. That matters more than download speed: the adware people blame on "free software" almost always comes from a mirror site, never from the publisher.
Is Remmina really free?
Open Source. Source code is public; free to use, study and modify. You can download and use it without paying, and without creating an account with us.
How to download Remmina safely
Use the request button on this page and we will email you the current link for remmina.org — the publisher's own website — so you receive the authentic, digitally signed build. We do not host, mirror, patch or repackage this software in any way.
Avoid third-party "download manager" sites offering Remmina. They commonly wrap the genuine installer in their own bundler, which is how adware and browser hijackers get onto a machine that the user believed was clean.
