You need an RDP server to make your Rocky Linux desktop-accessible remotely. For our purposes, 'xrdp' will more than suffice. You'll need to use the terminal for it, though, as it's a CLI-only program.

!!! info

The xrdp package is in [EPEL repository](https://wiki.rockylinux.org/rocky/repo/#community-approved-repositories), which provides rebuilds of Fedora packages for every supported Enterprise Linux. If you haven't enabled it, use the following commands to do so. You [should also enable CRB](https://wiki.rockylinux.org/rocky/repo/#notes-on-epel) (called "PowerTools in Rocky Linux 8) before adding EPEL repository.

In Rocky Linux 8, use these commands to add EPEL repository:

```bash
sudo dnf config-manager --set-enabled powertools
sudo dnf install epel-release
```

In Rocky Linux 9, use these commands to add EPEL repository:

```bash
sudo dnf config-manager --set-enabled crb
sudo dnf install epel-release
```

After adding EPEL repository (or if you have already added it), use the following command to install xrdp.

```bash
sudo dnf install xrdp
```
