## Linux CLI
One of the RDP client tools for Linux is `xfreerdp`. It can be installed using `apt`: ^r1znwe1
```sh
sudo apt-get install freerdp2-x11
```
^r1znwe
To connect to a machine use `/v` flag, `/u` is used to specify a user name and `/cert:ignore` will ignore any certificates.
```sh
xfreerdp /cert:ignore /u:<User name> /v:<IP Address>
```
