*You need a client and a server. The server runs on the raspberry pi. The client is on whatever machine you are connecting from.
*We can install our vncserver through the raspbian package manager, apt-get.
=using apt-get to install vncserveron the pi=
*apt-get, '''Advanced Packaging Tool''':
<blockquote>works with core libraries to handle the installation and removal of software on the Debian GNU/Linux distribution and its variants. APT simplifies the process of managing software on Unix-like computer systems by automating the retrieval, configuration and installation of software packages, either from binary files or by compiling source code.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Packaging_Tool]</blockquote>
**You will be prompted to set a password for people to login to the system with VNC. Decide on a password and enter it. Then reenter it. You can decline the offer to enter a view-only password.
*Now you need to login from your remote machine.
==logging onto raspberry pi from vnc client==
*You need a vnc client. This will connect to the vnc server which is currently running on your raspberry pi.
*Adafruit suggests "VNCViewer", available for free for most platforms from http://www.realvnc.com/.
*Download and install VNCViewer.
*Run the software.
*In the "VNC Server:" field, enter the IP address for your PI and the port number you started vncserver on. For instance <code>192.168.2.2:1</code> is IP 192.168.2.2, port 1.
**You selected the port when you started vncserver on the pi.
*Click connect.
**The software will prompt you about an unencrypted connection. Respond as you see fit.
*You'll see a popup window for VNC Viewer - Authentication. The Username field is blank. Enter the password you selected above when you ran vncserver.
*You should now see the LXDE with large raspberry picture.
*Have fun in a comfortable, windowing environment style.
