  No first-party Unidesk client libraries exist on any public package registry
  (npm search empty, PyPI 404, NuGet empty, PowerShell Gallery empty). Unidesk
  was acquired by Citrix in January 2017 and its product became Citrix App
  Layering. The only living client library for the former Unidesk technology is
  a community-maintained, reverse-engineered PowerShell SDK for the Citrix App
  Layering appliance, distributed from GitHub only.
