You require these packages to be installed.

If you have installed Linux with UI (XWindows), 

then checking these dependencies should be sufficient:

(optional)

    CSH shell

rrClient/rrClientconsole only. 
If rrClient config is set to CSH and NOT set to "Bash" (default)

libXScrnSaver
XScreenSaver (Rocky)

UI rrClient and rrClientWatch only. rrClientConsole does NOT require it

EITHER (Alma):
libxcb

OR (Ubuntu)

libxcb-xinerama0

libxcb-xinerama.so.0
libxcb-xinput.so.0

UI apps only

gnome-extensions-app

Extension:
"Tray Icons: Reloaded"

Tray icons for the rrClient, rrClientWatch and/or rrServerWatch.

The extension can be enabled on your Linux in a browser via this link:

libva
(Version 1)

libva.so.1
libva-x11.so.1

libva-drm.so.1

Use the command
yum --showduplicates list libva
to see if your distro has version 1 available.

Otherwise there is a download and source available:
https://github.com/intel/libva/releases?q=1.8.3




If you have installed a minimal Linux version without UI for the rrClient or rrServer daemon, 

then you have to check for these dependencies:

Package Name

Provides library

Required for application

libxkbcommon

libxkbcommon.so.0

rrWorkstationInstaller (*)

libxkbcommon-x11

libxkbcommon-x11.so.0

rrWorkstationInstaller (*)

fontconfig

libfontconfig.so.1
(libfreetype.so.6 as dependency)

rrWorkstationInstaller (*)

xcb-util-image

libxcb-image.so.0

rrWorkstationInstaller (*)

xcb-util-wm

libxcb-icccm.so.4

rrWorkstationInstaller (*)

xcb-util-renderutil

libxcb-render-util.so.0

rrWorkstationInstaller (*)

xcb-util-keysyms

libxcb-keysyms.so.1

rrWorkstationInstaller (*)





(*)
Note that the rrWorkstationInstaller, which is required to install the autostart service/deamon checks for the existance of XWindows libs.
Even if you execute it in commandline mode (see rrWorkstationInstaller --help), it still requires the libraries to exist. 
XWindows libs are not used in commandline mode, but Linux verifies they exist in case you might want to start rrWorkstationInstaller in UI mode.
