TigerVNC is a high-performance, platform-neutral virtual networking client that allows users to easily connect to and control remote computers. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing TigerVNC on a Windows 10 computer.
Before you begin the installation process, you must have the following:
Follow the step-by-step guide below to install TigerVNC on your Windows 10 machine:
Open your preferred web browser and navigate to the TigerVNC website at http://tigervnc.org/.
From the homepage, click on the "Downloads" link at the top of the page.
Scroll down to the "TigerVNC Binary Releases" section and select the appropriate version for your operating system (in this case, Windows).
The download will begin automatically. Once it is complete, navigate to the location where the file was saved and double-click on it to run the installer.
You may be prompted by your operating system to allow the installation to proceed. If so, click on "Yes" or "Allow" to proceed.
The installer will launch, and you will be presented with the TigerVNC Setup Wizard. Click "Next" to continue.
Read and accept the license agreement, then click "Next" again.
Choose the destination folder where you want to install TigerVNC or leave the default folder as it is. Click "Next" to proceed.
Choose the components you want to install, then click "Next". For most users, the defaults will be sufficient.
Choose the installation options you want, then click "Next". If you are unsure about any of these options, you can leave the defaults as they are.
The installer will now begin the installation process. This may take several minutes depending on the speed of your computer.
Once the installation is complete, you will be presented with a dialog box. Click "Finish" to complete the installation.
You can now launch TigerVNC from the Start menu or from the desktop shortcut that was created during the installation process.
Enter the IP address or hostname of the remote computer you wish to connect to, along with the default port number (5900). You can also configure additional options such as the display resolution and color depth.
Click "Connect" to establish a connection to the remote computer. You will be prompted for the appropriate credentials if necessary.
Once connected, you can control the remote computer just as if you were sitting in front of it.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed TigerVNC on your Windows 10 computer!
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
