Connecting to the pi from a local computer with shh.

Graphical Interface, VNC

  • VNC, Virtual Network Computing.
    • In computing, Virtual Network Computing (VNC) is a graphical desktop sharing system that uses the Remote Frame Buffer protocol (RFB) to remotely control another computer. It transmits the keyboard and mouse events from one computer to another, relaying the graphical screen updates back in the other direction, over a network.

  • You need a client and a server. The server runs on the raspberry pi. The client is on whatever machine you are connecting from.
  • Install through the raspbian package management, apt-get.
  • apt-get, Advanced Packaging Tool
    • 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.[2]
  • sudo apt-get update
  • sudo apt-get install tightvncserver
