Now you might be thinking isn’t that what SSH is for? Well this method allows you to view and use the GUI as if you were there at the Pi. For some people the command line interface is a little too daunting and prefer to just use the nice graphical user interface (GUI).
The Raspberry Pi remote desktop can be accessed from any device that is able to install and use a VNC viewer. This software is available for almost all modern operating systems.
You will need to have Raspbian installed for your Raspberry Pi for this to work. You might find this process will work on other Linux distributions.
The overall installation process is actually pretty easy and you shouldn’t come across many problems. The only real issue I had was getting it to launch automatically on boot up so the VNC server was accessible even if your pi had to restart.
Installing the client onto your device is incredibly easy. As I mentioned earlier there is basically a client available for almost every device so you shouldn’t have trouble setting up the remote desktop to the Raspberry Pi.
There are some issues you may come across but most of them are easily fixable. I have a troubleshooting section over at the website linked above if you do come across any trouble.
I hope by the time you have finished following the instructions in this video you have been able to setup a Raspberry Pi VNC server. If you do come across any problems, I have got something wrong, I have missed anything then feel to drop a comment below or over at pimylifeup.com.
