Hi there,

is it possible to make the nsh-smartcard.deb file from 

https://packagecloud.io/nhsbuntu/nhs-smartcards

into a linux agnostic installation file? I am currently using arch/manjaro and I have all the other prerequisites and can access my account through citrix, the only problem is identity agent not recognising the card.

Kind Regards

J

You should be able to convert the deb by following this guide :
