# IGEL Remote Clients Installation

This article covers how to install Remote Clients (formerly Remote DX) onto IGEL OS devices.

Remote Clients supports devices running IGEL OS 11 and OS 12 connecting to Citrix and Omnissa (formerly VMware) virtual environments.

## Install Remote Clients

Select your IGEL OS version below:

 

Install the IGEL Ready Certified Remote Clients application on IGEL OS 12 devices through IGEL UMS.

**Configure the application in IGEL UMS**

1. Open the IGEL App Portal and import **ControlUp Remote DX**.!['ControlUp Remote DX' app in the IGEL app portal.](https://cdn.document360.io/098100b7-b9da-4bea-b4b9-017140ab863e/Images/Documentation/RDX%20in%20app%20portal.png)
2. In IGEL UMS, add the **ControlUp Remote DX** application to a profile used for device deployment. [Visit the IGEL documentation](https://kb.igel.com/endpointmgmt-12.02/en/how-to-create-and-assign-profiles-in-the-igel-ums-web-app-90237483.html) to learn more about this step.
3. Open the configuration for the **ControlUp Remote DX** application.
4. Depending on whether you are using the IGEL device to connect to a Citrix or Omnissa environment, enable Remote DX for either Citrix or Omnissa.![ControlUp Remote DX profile configurator. There are two checkboxes - 'Enable Remote DX for Citrix Workspace App' and 'Enable Remote DX for VMware Horizon Client'.](https://cdn.document360.io/098100b7-b9da-4bea-b4b9-017140ab863e/Images/Documentation/RemoteDX%20profile%20configuration.png)
5. Click **Save and Close** to save your changes to the application configuration.

Devices that are configured to run the **ControlUp Remote DX** application automatically install the Remote Clients plugin. You will be able to see client metrics from the IGEL devices while they are connected to your virtual environment.

**Update Remote Clients**

When a new Remote Clients version is available for IGEL, the **ControlUp Remote Clients** application will be updated in the IGEL App Portal. You can update Remote Clients through IGEL UMS.
