Raspberry Pi VNC Remote Desktop

You can use the putty remote terminal to log on to Raspberry Pi without a monitor. However, all operations must be executed by entering commands, which may be difficult to adapt to desktop visualization operations.

One solution is to use VNC Remote Desktop.

First, install the VNC service on Raspberry Pi.

Open putty and log on to Raspberry Pi. Enter the following command:

 
Sudo apt-Get install tightvncserver
 

Make sure that your Raspberry Pi is connected to the Internet. Raspberry Pi automatically downloads the corresponding package online and asks you if you are sure to install it. Enter y and press Enter, depending on your network conditions, it will take some time to install the VNC service:

After installing the VNC Server, enter the following command to configure the VCN service:

 
Tightvncserver
 

In the middle, you will be asked to enter the VNC service access password (once, once confirmed, twice in total). This password is used when the remote VNC terminal is connected. You can also enter an optional read-only password.

After the VNC service is configured, run the following command to start a VNC service:

Vncserver: 1-geometry 1920x1080-depth 24
 

The preceding command starts a VNC service with the port number 1, resolution 1920x1080, and color bit depth 24 bits. The-geometry and-depth options are optional. I directly entered the vncservier: 1 command to start a VNC service with the port number 1:

The VNC service has been installed and started successfully. The next step is to connect to the remote VNC client. Here we need a VNC-viewer software. I am using the window platform. This software can be downloaded here.

Open VNC-viewer and enter the IP address of Raspberry Pi and the port number 1 ,. For example, my Raspberry Pi is allocated to 192.168.0.106:

After entering the information, click Connect to connect to the Raspberry Pi VNC service. Because channel encryption is not configured, an unencrypted channel connection warning is displayed:

You can select "do not prompt" and then click "continue". Enter the access password we configured for Raspberry Pi VNC:

Click OK. If the password is correct, the Raspberry Pi desktop will appear:

Now, VNC remote logon to Raspberry Pi is complete.
