1. Install the VNC server package. Depending on your Linux distribution, you can use an appropriate package manager to install a VNC server package. For example, on Ubuntu or Debian, you can use the apt command to install tightvncserver package:
$ sudo apt install tightvncserver
2. Create a user account for VNC. To access your server from the VNC viewer, you need a user account. Create a new user account with the adduser command:
$ sudo adduser vncuser
3. Set up a VNC password. After creating a new user account, you need to set up a VNC password. To do that, log in as the new user (vncuser in this example) and run the vncpasswd command to set up a VNC password:
$ vncpasswd
4. Start the VNC server. To start the VNC server, use the vncserver command. This command will create a VNC session on the server, assign it a display number and start the VNC server process.
$ vncserver
5. Configure the firewall. If your server has a firewall enabled, you need to open the ports used by VNC. By default, VNC uses the TCP ports 5900, 5901, 5902, etc. Open the ports in the firewall using the appropriate firewall commands. For example, on Ubuntu or Debian, you can use the ufw command to open the ports:
$ sudo ufw allow 5900:5910/tcp
6. Connect to the VNC server. To connect to the VNC server, use any VNC client. The IP address of your server and the display number of your VNC session should be used to connect. In this example, the IP address of the server is 192.168.0.100 and the display number is 1, so the connection would be made to 192.168.0.100:1.
