The first thing you should do on your system is to run the system update command that will rebuild the system repo cache. The administrators or any user doesn’t need to walk through multiple floors to the system where he/she either wants to install any software or just for maintenance. The greatest advantage of using VNC is the saving of time. What are the advantages of using VNC software? Another application is the installation of software via remote access, for which the employee either does not have the appropriate rights or he simply does not have the time. Most of the time, this is done for troubleshooting purposes without physically attending to the remote computer. Usually, network administrators use VNC to solve the problems of employees’ computers by taking remote control via VNC. The software is suitable for both individuals as well as small to large companies. This remote control software not only enables desktop sharing and application sharing, as long as the network connection is established and the VNC software is running, but no restrictions also have to be accepted. Then we form one computer will be able to access another computer over a network, which, however, has little in common with normal file sharing. Whereas the local system from, where the user or admin wants to access the remote system needs to have a VNC viewer app.

The VNC Server part has to be installed on the remote computer that the user wants to access over a network without being physically present in front of it. In more clear words, the VNC works on Server-client architecture. However, unlike RDP, the session in VNC will independent, which means the remote user doesn’t need to log out to give access to the client VNC viewer system. Along with the ability to send inputs from keyboard and mouse from local computer to remote PC or server. It enables the Screen content sharing of a remote computer (on which a VNC server is running) on a local computer (on which a VNC viewer is running). VNC stands for Virtual Network Computing is a free and opens source software platform to run on Linux and other operating systems developed by Olivetti & Oracle Research Lab. In this tutorial, we will learn the commands to install a VNC server on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Focal or Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic using the terminal to access Gnome Linux graphic user interface, remotely.
