How to install tiger vnc viewer on linux server to access from Android using real vnc server #linux #vnc #remoteserver

 Got it 👍 you want to start a VNC server on Kali Linux so you can connect with the RealVNC Viewer app on Android. Here’s the full step-by-step:

---

🔹 Step 1: Install a VNC server

On Kali, open terminal and run:

sudo apt update

sudo apt install tightvncserver -y

---

🔹 Step 2: Set up VNC password

Run:

vncpasswd

Enter a password (8 characters max).

It will also ask if you want a view-only password → usually say n.

---

🔹 Step 3: Start the VNC server

Run:

vncserver :1

:1 means display number 1, which uses port 5901.

If you use :2, the port will be 5902, etc.

You should see output like:

New 'X' desktop is kali:1

---

🔹 Step 4: Connect from Android (RealVNC Viewer)

1. Open RealVNC Viewer app.

2. Add new connection:

Address:

10.71.77.13:5901

Name: Kali (or anything you like).

3. Tap connect → enter the VNC password you set.

Now you’ll see your Kali Linux desktop on Android 🎉

---

🔹 Step 5: Stop the VNC server (optional)

When done:

vncserver -kill :1

---

⚡ By default, TightVNC just gives a basic X session (not the full Kali desktop). If you want the full XFCE/KDE desktop, you’ll need to edit the startup script (~/.vnc/xstartup).

👉 Do you want me to show you how to configure it so that you get the full Kali GUI desktop instead of just a grey terminal screen when connecting?
