To install a VNC server on a Linux machine, follow these steps:
- First, make sure that you have a VNC client installed on the machine from which you want to access the VNC server. There are many VNC clients available, such as TightVNC, RealVNC, and UltraVNC.
- Next, install the VNC server software on the Linux machine. There are several VNC server options available for Linux, including TigerVNC, TightVNC, and RealVNC.
- To install TigerVNC on a Debian-based system (such as Ubuntu), use the following command:
1
|
sudo apt-get install tigervnc-server
|
To install TightVNC on a Debian-based system, use the following command:
1
|
sudo apt-get install tightvncserver
|
To install RealVNC on a Debian-based system, follow the instructions on the RealVNC website: https://www.realvnc.com/en/connect/docs/installation/linux/.
- Once the VNC server software is installed, you can start it by running the following command:
This will start the VNC server and prompt you to create a password for the VNC server. Choose a password that is secure and hard to guess.
- To connect to the VNC server from a client machine, use a VNC client to connect to the Linux machine's IP address and the VNC server's port number. The default port number for a VNC server is 5900, so if the IP address of the Linux machine is "192.168.1.100," the VNC server can be accessed at "192.168.1.100:5900."
- When prompted, enter the password you created when starting the VNC server. If the password is correct, the VNC client will connect to the VNC server and you will be able to access the desktop of the Linux machine from the client machine.
