Update packages info

sudo apt-get update

Running sudo apt-get update is an important step before installing or upgrading packages on your system because it ensures that you have the most up-to-date information about available packages.

Without updating the package index, you might not see the latest versions of software or be able to install new packages that have been added to the repositories since the last update.


Download the .deb file

Go to the downloads page and and choose the installer PCoIP & DCV.


Install it

sudo apt-get install ./Downloads/new_workspacesclient_focal_amd64.deb

Just make sure to locate the file.
